Let's be honest: nobody wants a BMW that is out of warranty. Nobody!

he wanted to see if the shoulder was wide enough

Despite him swerving through traffic, I think the LFA owner was nonetheless practicing restraint. He never opened up the LFA fully. Think about 75 - 163 mph comes in only 14 seconds in LFA. He would have vanished in no time.

Although, the other guys were acting like douchebags tail gating him.

Yeah I guess the LFA wasn't, just changing lanes a lot but the IS-F person was...

First off... Why is it that just about never YouTube video has someone cursing and listening to some ghetto music with the windows down. It just doesn't make any sense. If you take the time to hit the record button and then more time to download it on YouTube, then make time to roll your stupid windows up.

Nice car, even the m3, i am a huge fan of those also..

Crappy video, i am off of my soapbox now..

That's why I used the word "run" since it was not a race at all. The LFA was not even trying otherwise, it would have vanished.
