Swerving in and out of lanes to get to where he would be first at a light, then launching hard from the light. The way this road was timed, there were a lot of lights.

Finally, he winds up next to me at a light. Light changes, I floor it and shock the bejeebers out of him. I wasn’t driving my Camaro. I was driving a BMW i3s electric car that I’ve had as a press car this weekend. That thing is freaky fast 0 - 40. Think Tesla Model S lined up with a Demon, only the i3 is way more dorky looking than a Model S. But the result was the same. Surprise and humiliation.
I drove a coworker’s i3 in Germany. I was very impressed with its power while driving in the city (with three!) but it was a soulless experience. Cold and without emotion. It would be an adjustment.
