The other evening, I’m heading home from the shop in the M3. I had the window down because it was nice out.

At a red light, a dude pulls up next to me and rolls down his window.

“What kind of car is that?”

“BMW.”

“Is it stick shift?”

“Yep.”

“Is it fast?”

“It does okay.”

“Wanna party?”

Cue up the record scratching to a halt. 

Have a nice evening, I said, and waved him along.

Was I just propositioned for sex? Drugs? Both? Something else?

I've seen this movie before.

Well, I saw most of it, then I ran out of quarters and someone else was waiting to use the booth. Pretty sure I know how it ends, though.

In reply to Mr_Asa :

Maybe he lives his life a quarter mile at a time? 

He was in an SUV, and I was a few cars back from the white line. 

I’m bummed I didn’t ask a follow-up question: “So, tell me more about this party?”

And you know this incident made me think about G.

First and only thing I thought of.  I suppose it might be relevant to know the identity of the other car, but probably not.

Edit:  And my question is answered even before I post it.  LOL.

I think it was more of a two-finger wave–like a wave combined with a point as if to say, You go that way, son.

I mean.... I lack self confidence and have to be told after the fact if I was being hit on, but even I know when someone is offering me coke. wink

It's well known the BMW drivers are prolific users of coke.

Yes, I have seen Miami Vice.

Sounds like you've got old-itis!  You need a guy who can teach you to party!

I always just go along with things and do my best to stay out of the hospital. It is possible that you exercise better judgement than I do.

Yeah.  Round these parts, "party" involves white powder, a mirror, a razor blade, and a rolled-up C-note.  Hookers optional, but recommended.

The real problem with hanging out at the track with real racers & cars is that the answer with any car you'd have on the street is an objective "No.  At least, not with me as as driver.  I'm mid-pack, at best."

We had a hip dude at work that had this (in 2023) AND we did drug tests do I know he's not doing coke.  

So what's that all about?

There are lots of correct answers in this thread, but this is the most correct. Party = nose candy festival.
