Post Don't rev your engine too hard to get attention!

As I was coming home from work last night, this yellow 1995-1998 bmw 3 series came next to me, trying to get my attention to have a race. When we stopped at the stoplight, he rev his engine so hard that I felt sorry for his car. I knew he wanted a race, but I was TOOOOOO tired for that. He kept reving and reving until......you guessed it.....his engine blew. I was going to help him, but he looked weired; more like a drunk to me. Anyways, I just pulled on him with a RPM reading of 2k.


remeber...don;t rev your engine too hard core to get attention.

Too funny. You should have gotten out, pushed his car though the intersection and said, "YOU WON"

His engine blew?! That is freakin' hilarious. I wouldn't think a BMW would blow like that -- was he constantly reving it a 8,000 RPM or something? Either way, I wish I could have seen that. Much props to you on your impressive victory.

I think he was drunk, that is why he did not know how badly he was killing his engine.
