M3 cited in Crime Section of Wash Post!!
I thought it would be worth posting this story here since it involves
a bunch a M3s. Not the first time I read about M3 drivers being arrested and their cars impounded in VA. But they ran out of luck this time. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/...9c3_print.html

Interesting. Didn't think this kind of things was going around in US where the police have such authority.

Sounds like they caught a nice bunch of assholes. Many of us drive fast but we respect other drivers. Who runs people off the road? That's just plain rediculous.
It's nice to read a follow up of that story from about a month ago. |

Some people just don't get the memos. Had they listened to Jeremy Clarkson, they would have been driving top-of-the-cocks Audis not BMWs.

"Import tuners also often tweak the computer system that controls the engine to maximize performance — a sort of hacking meets hot-rodding. Cars that come from the factory with 200-horsepower engines can be retuned to have three or four times more power."
So I can tune my car to get 1200-1600ish horsepower |

The former cop who called in the first place was a startled old man and with his lack of power as a civilian felt the need to call the police. Cops suck period.

Until someone runs one of your family off the road and, godforbid, they are hurt. Then you're one of the people pounding your fist on the table wondering why the police didn't save your sister/brother/mom/dad/niece/nephew/whatever from a trip to the hospital. Why defend dangerous road drivers? Encourage them to go to a track, instead. .
