The Russians (both of them this time) came over last night. They came for dinner and to fix our internet (it had been down for a day). They had to go back to their place to pick up an extrfa modem and they invited me along for the ride. Russian #1 has 2 BMW's. The one I rode in was a 545i and it was the sweetest car I have ever been in. Man, that guy drives fast! We were probably going at least a 100 km/h through town (speed limit of 50). It was insane! What a rush! I haven't felt the old adenaline pumping like that in a long time! I guess I should have expected a fast ride because previous to this he showed me a video of him driving down the 115 and the spedometer was in the shot so you could tell how fast he was driving. The spedometer only went to 240km/h and the needle was way past that, so he was probably doing 260 km/h. That is absolutely insane. It's even more insane to take a video while you're driving that fast. What a crazy guy. He says if you're gonna speed, make sure to go REALLY fast because then the cops can't catch you and they can't see your licence plate. I think one of these days they're going to nail him and take away his licence or he may end of hurting himself and other people.
Good news is I'm back safe and sound (Thank you Jesus!). I think that next time the Russian invites me for a ride, I will have to insist on driving ;)
Other than my highspeed car joy ride, nothing too much new here.

I have a question. If Russian #1 is trying to save the world from global catastrophe, why does he own 2 cars? Infact, why doesn't he spend his money on a more fuel efficient vehicle, like a Prius, instead of 2 BMWs? I find that sorta odd...
Good point. I guess because the other side of him is a regular guy, who loves speed and nice cars. But, you're right, if he is 100% committed to the "saving the world from global catastophe" thing, then he should be driving a more fuel efficient car.
