    Default X6-M on the way to the Texas/Texas Tech game, via Mexico...of course

    I really needed to run into a bear-bait front door for the quick trip to Austin as we left Snuff Gully for a 6:30 game at 12:10. Sure enough, I caught and passed a BMW X6-M with paper tags on it on the left-hand banked sweeper out in front of Katy Mills Mall on IH-10. He did not like that I passed him on the outside, as he already above the speed limit and feeling large. I lifted so he would pull and pass me, which his vanity demanded that he do judging by how quick he took the bait. Traffic was already running about 80-85. When it would clear and open he would be off, and I right behind him.

    Either my car runs real good, or his was so new he didn't know how to put it in track mode. I would anticipate well his leaving and never lost a half a car length to him, and as the speed built would slowly reel him in. I sure would not want to have spent what he did on that thing and have a $25K four-door sedan draft up on me with apparent ease. Quickest trip between Katy and Sealy I have ever made...he exited there. All accomplished without endangering the safety of others. 261 miles. 3hours, 32 minutes.


    Of course, none of this is true! I am a pathological liar and feel the need to act out by telling impossible lies when I am under stress. Like when my wife is out Black Friday shopping.

    If I'm not completely satisfied, can I return, less shipping and handling?
