I'm at the light, my friend is at the light in his 325i turbo. I'd heard stories about the car being fast and all, but it's a 325i turbo, never had the chance to see one, race one ... hear one, etc.
So anyway. At the light, I'm in the far left lane, 325i in the middle lane, Camaro SS something in the right lane. Camaro SS is scary, exhaust big rear wheels... drag car easy.
I knew I was going to lose to the Camaro, but I figure I'll hang with the 325i turbo.
Light goes green... all three of us roll up easy so we can't blame the launch. 3000rpms, I hit it. I get about an 1/8 of a car length before the camaro launches it and then the 325i.
I hit 2nd gear and the 325i was a car ahead... I'm like WTF? I'm running thru 2nd gear and 325i is pulling away from me like I would be pulling away from a Geo. Camaro is even a couple cars back from the 325i by the time I change into 3rd gear.
Basically I got walked down like a dog... I was so far behind by 3rd gear I was in a different race. Right then and there I realized I'm going to have to start selling whatever I can to get boost. 280HP just isn't what it used to be... at least not on Active's Home Turf.
DAMN...
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
Ouch! You've had quite a few weeks, Kevlar.
I think you should celebrate being alive and get a turbo for your car.

What are you just rolling around looking for kills today? It would suck to be in an area with such high concentration of turbo'd bimmers if you're trying to stay competitive.
