Default My little Lex chasing down a Bugatti on the Gold Rush Rally

Had the chance to run the last leg of the Gold Rush Rally yesterday and I gotta say it was one hell of a drive. I was proud of my little IS being able to hang with the big boys...that is until the Bugatti's put in the second key and hit well over 200mph...took me a while to catch up after they did that but I did! haha

BTW, the above story is completely fictional and none of this ever happened.

I mean... the gas he just throw in I could possibly drive two days back and forth from day to night... What's point of chasing that Bugatti? Okay you catch it up, see it, then pass it and that's it.. lol

It was the final leg of the Gold Rush Rally...we were all racing across alligator alley from Naples to Miami. The Veyron and an SLS actually slowed way down and took off to race and I was stuck behind that jackass in the old benz that wouldn't pass or get behind the Phantom. Once he got outta the way I had to play catch up to get back with the group. If you're asking what the point of a rally is??? well...I guess there is none, just an excuse to get a bunch of people together and drive like crazy people for a little bit.

Funny how people add mods to make the car look, sound and go faster then soon as somebody post a video of themselves speeding everyone acts like omg is that a public road , and the gas statement was funny also. lmao .... Good video and glad you didn't get caught partner. Car sounds nice also
