who says old people don't race!?
I was driving down Westheimer in the Galleria area in Houston, and a white Lexus GS300 with 18" RH C2's and the Veilside kit pulls up to me. I was pretty amazed as it was, as I don't see many done-up Lexuses anywhere. The driver is a middle-aged guy, looks like some sort of executive by the way he dressed. The next lane over, a blue BMW 5-series pulls up (I didn't get a good look at it), so I don't really pay too much attention. Next thing you know, the Lexus REVS, and I hear a BOV. Of course, I thought he was revving on me, and I was just like 
and preparing myself for a good owning. BUT, from the next lane over, I hear the unmistakable subdued roar of a BMW engine, so I'm thinking "Oh ****, it's on now!" The light goes green, and both cars just blast from the light while I'm still sitting there in shock. The BMW had a lower and wider stance than normal, and was overpowering the turbo Lexus by a car or two. Well, with the stance of the BMW, I automatically assumed it was a M5, and well, it sure was. (The dual exhaust was another dead giveaway) At the next light I give the guy in the Lexus a big thumbs up, he returns the gesture, and we go our separate ways. Damn I wish I had a camera
