Maybe I'm missing the point but I totally get it. These kids are just motorheads. 30 years ago they were the guys tinkering with muscle cars. Don't doubt that there are Civics out there that'll eat Boxsters alive at the stoplights. Now add youth and testosterone and there it is. They've put in a lot of time and money into this. I give them credit. It's amusing but I get it.

What I don't get is the guy who pulls up next to my bike at the light in his stock M-3 and actually thinks he has a chance. Once at a light, a guy in a Cadillac STS, pulled a hole shot. I wasn't even in gear. Just sleeping. A Cadillac?? Of course I pull up to the next red with a big grin on my face..... he was clueless. Elitist but clueless. Silly games.

Not all M-3 owners are "clueless elitists" and neither are all the "ricers". There may be more poseurs than real deals out there but they are out there keeping things vibrant and young. Their influence is already reflected in the product offerings from the OEM's. For me that's a good thing.
