There is a thing about car lovers - when you see a car you like, you tend to follow it.

BMW M4 is here!

One weekday evening, I was driving a BMW 320i on a Chinese road. While practicing acceleration from downshifting and being aware of handlingI'm getting used to driving on the highway in the 320i!As I was driving along, I saw a pitch-black BMW approaching from behind with great speed.

How powerful. I wondered if it was an "M" or something by the looks of it." Naturally, I quickly gave way and checked the rear of the car.M4 CoupeIt was.

And the M4 quickly disappeared from view, with a cool engine sound afterward.

."M is really cool...and it sounds great. And it's really fast.I continued to drive down the Chugoku Expressway, but gradually the traffic volume increased... and when I looked diagonally in front of me, I saw that M4 again!

Feeling happy to see him again, I ran so as not to lose him this time, but I had to get off at the next IC..."Unfortunately, this is where we part ways with the M4.I was thinking, "What a surprise!" when the M4 changed lanes.

Oh, you mean M4 gets off at the same IC...!

However, after getting off the IC, I thought that they would indeed take a different road, so I kept driving behind them, but lo and behold!After that, all the intersections we turned and the places we went were the same, so I felt like I was destined to be with this M4!That's why (laughs).

What about M4...?

After a while, on a road I usually go straight, the M4 turned left, "butI want to follow M4 as far as I can go when I get here.I had a strange feeling that I was going to have to go the long way around, so I decided to follow the M4, even though it was a long way around. Then, just before the traffic light ahead, there was a traffic jam and the car came to a complete stop.

Such a place would never be crowded under normal circumstances... (-_-)

But every time there is a green light, right behind me, I see M4's "BOOM!I could hear the sound of the engine, so I thought it was OK and continued to drive at a slow pace. However, the driving continued at such a slow pace that I checked Google Maps and found thatThe roads are all red for miles beyond that.I'm not!

So, as a result of following the M4, I got caught in a huge traffic jam that I never expected.

As I later found out.A truck and a passenger car were involved in a rear-end collision on the road ahead, and the police were restricting the lanes.Incidentally, I ended up with this M4 all the way to the road near my house, so maybe we are neighbors.

Nevertheless.If I had taken my usual route home, I would not have been caught in the traffic jam, but I completely lost more than 30 minutes... I knew I shouldn't have acted strangely...I took to Twitter to share the whole story, reflecting on what I had done, and received this comment.

I'm going to do this, aren't I?
I once passed a highway off-ramp.

I have done the same thing, many times 😆.

...What the hell! Everyone is doing the same thing!

I felt a little happy to be able to join the ranks of car enthusiasts, but I have learned my lesson: next time, I will not follow them carelessly.

    When I find a car I like, I tend to stalk it.
    I like to watch from behind at an angle, so when I am in a double lane, I have to follow like an undercover police car.

      Mr. Ishi.
      I'd be stalking you (laughs).

      If Ishi's car were a Crown, he would be warned that it is completely undercover (laughs).

    I always enjoy reading your blog.
    I tend to follow my favorite cars when I see them.
    In addition, the windows are fully open because of the noise.
    But it's not easy to meet them in my area, though.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      I can't help but follow (laughs).

      I'm excited all at once, but I'm thinking that I can't keep up with such a cool, high-powered car in the 320i these days (laughs).
