    318i vs ti--it all depends on the driver

    I left my house going to run some errands this afternoon, and as I am heading down the road I see a bimmer on my tail. Couldn't tell what it was until we came up to a light and he got beside me. Light turns green and I take off...he didn't bite until I was cruising at the speed limit 45. Then all of the sudden in the mirror I see him coming up fast...I downshift into 3rd and floor it. We basically stayed even until 90 when we shut down. I was surprised the I very slowly was pulling away.

    Next we get away from traffic and meet up at a stop sign. This time it is business. We both have a decent launch but I still have just a little edge and stay ahead until we stop at 90 again since the lanes merge.

    It is not often that I come up against a car that is equal to me so this was exciting. Most times they can destroy me with ease.

    Well...when he was behind me I didn't know what it was, but when he pulled up next to me at the light and i saw the hatchback it was obvious. I always want to see what I race before hand.
