So I put the accelerator down through 2 inches of plush floormat and left him in a wake of black, beltching smoke which looked like an oil tanker exploded behind me. I stopped a few miles down the road and planted a tree to make up for my indiscretion

Amen brother --- it's so cool to know that I'm not the only one that enjoys an occasional blast of smoke and soot in the face of a tailgater or just someone who looks like they deserve it!

I was behind a brand new (temporary paper tag) E class CDI the other day -- he took off fairly strong from a light, and that thing blew basically nothing.....WELL - that's not ok! I managed to work my way around him, and then it was my turn at a light ---- I hit the 617, the turbo was hitting full spool and black smoke was rolling! A moment to cherish and someday share with my grandchildren...

PS....Also love to do it when my kids are following - They call it the "James Bond" smoke screen.

Actually sad what turns us on as we get older...
