The Smoking BMW

Tonight on your drive home from work around 11:20 PM, you saw the best thing...

You occasionally stop for a burger at Hardee's. The only Hardee's restaurant in the Twin Cities is located right in the middle of your drive to and from work at 369 Hamline Ave S in St. Paul. It's open 24 hours.

The only other Hardee's restaurant within 30 miles is in Anoka.

Anyway, you were going around 70 miles per hour, and you were heading toward the far right lane so you could get off I-94 onto Hamline. You glanced at the review-mirror and saw headlights speeding toward you in the far left lane. As you were getting onto the Hamline exit, you saw a white BMW pass by like you were sitting still. It had to have been going at least 120 miles per hour. Gray smoke was billowing from the engine compartment and trailing it like the tail of a comet.

It was a wonderful sight. Just lovely. Like a bush of blooming roses rooted in a big pile of dog shit.

You can't help but wonder what the story was there. Your imagination sucks ass, because all can think think of is that the car was stolen by a couple douchebags and they were trashing it. Or maybe the owner was just a rich douchebag who would rather trash his/her car by getting home before it broke down so they wouldn't have to wait for a tow truck on the shoulder of the interstate.

Sidebar: There's a St. Paul Police precinct immediately next door to the Hardees on Hamline. There were police officers milling about in the parking lot. None of them looked concerned.
