    Electric Smart Car vs 540i 6spd vs G37xS

    In a dream I was late for work one morning and driving briskly to make up time. I was driving on a major city street that's 6 lanes wide and it was during morning rush hour. I was tailing a G37 for a few lights. He was moving the quickest away from red lights etc. but there was no intention to race him. Just follow.

    We hit another red light and G37 moves to the right lane from the left lane and a white Smart car with green stripes & 2 ppl in it takes the center lane. The Smart was looking to race. The light goes green and both of them are on it and I can't believe what I'm seeing; the smart car is door to door with him. The G37 backs off fairly quickly and makes the next right.

    Now I'm at another red light lined up with the Smart again and the guy staring at me through his shades. I didn't want to race this guy. Just seemed like a bad idea; but then I was like fine, 1 gear won't hurt after scoping the situation while waiting for the light. As it turns green I get out of the gate better than he does and nose ahead. Thru the first 20mph he's staying even with me but he's at my B pillar. At this point I'm thinking that my car's lost it's mojo over all these years. The next 15mph I pull ahead slightly more; 1st tops out at 35mph and that was it. The guy driving the Smart stayed on it and took off down the road.
