Brotherly love...M3 style

MTM · 05-28-2014, 12:45 PM

So around 10:30am on May 20th I am headed south on the Hardy toll road. I am in the right center lane (space gray E92) when I notice two cars joining the hwy from the entrance ramp. One is some sort of beater moving a bit slowly, and behind it is a (Silverstone?) E90 M3. Something in the way they drove told me the M3 was about to blast it.

Just before that point I noticed a trooper on the shoulder about a mile ahead. As the E90 makes to zip around the beater, I flash my hazards since I knew he probably could not see the trooper.

They slowed down, we passed the trooper without incident, and he gave me a friendly wave as he passed me a little later on.

Got nothing but love for my M3 brothers and sisters...

Nice save, I think they owe you a beer or two after that.

Haha, nice! I actually just had someone warn me of a trooper last month. It was a great save. BrewRifle, do you know of any meets that happen regularly in Austin?
