>>based on how the engine sounded... so I change lanes (swerve, really) 
>>going about 60 to get around this slow truck and I'm just behind it but 
>>my right-hand turn is coming up REALLY fast so I do another swerve at 
>>about 70 this time, smashing my poor wife's head against the window, and 
>>gave not only the tires but the brakes a workout as I slammed to a halt 
>>at the light. The lady behind me in the truck wasn't impressed but the 
>>guy driving the M3 sure was. It's nice to see people with cars that go 
>>fast using them... and he obviously knew enough about SHOs if he tried
