Default Did I get killed?

Got killed for the first time!?! I was rolling down the 91 Fwy with the top down Monday night, and I noticed the flow of the very light traffic was 90mph. A few cars were wizzing by, so I decided to play. In a few secs, I was up to 140. Realizing that +50mph of the traffic left no room for error, and not having a roll bar yet, I backed off to the flow of traffic. A BMW M3 soon passed and flashed his hazard lights. Does he think he killed me?

If he does, I'd call that "Rice" behavior, even though the M3 is pretty fast for a "stock" car.

What is the proper ettiquete for killing someone?

I dunno what he thought, perhaps he just wanted to acknowledge to you that he wanted to go or something.

don't worry about it if you weren't full out slamming gears with him.

What does having a rollbar affect the danger of going that much faster than traffic? I have done stupid things as well but cruisin at 140 down the highway is just dumb, what happens when to 3' asain lady pulls on the highway at 35 like they always do? Save it for the track

Here in the great state of Texas the ricers use the flashers when they race each other to let the loser know he is "a slow hazzard" and needs to get off the road... so I think he was telling you that you need to get off the road because you're too slow.


Im being dead honest also. No joke.

I thought the light thing was "rice"

As far as the safety comment above goes... the 91 fwy is 6 lanes in each direction in that area. I promised my son that I wouldn't kill myself in this car. He'd miss me.

Once I get the roll bar I'll be allowed on the track. For now, its boost in short spurts. It was cool to feel how quickly 140 came up though.

Here in Ky, when I see the ppl race here, they hit their 4 ways to let the person behind know they're slowing down so they don't get rear-ended. Needless to say, I'm always turning mine on....LOL

There would be quite a few tiny pieces to pick up after a roll at 140!! Not nockin ya just say 140 on the public hgwy is a little over the top, keep it under 135

Easiest way is to shoot or stab someone, it has the highest success rate, as opposed to trying to hit someone over the head.

Usually they stop breathing shortly after. [8D]
