Speaking of GTO's.. one blew past me the other day.. slowed down.. looked at me when I caught up.. then exploded away and almost deafened me (this was at highway speeds.. during rush hour in DC.. one hill from standstill traffic, not smart, I was not playing his game.. but even if I did.. I am pretty sure he would have destroyed me)...

Dad sits in my car today and keeps quite for a while. As I am getting on the freeway he says "Why is the interior so cheap?"
Looking at the resting position of the Comand Unit he says, "They didn't even make this flush with the rest of the dashboard." "You'd think Mercedes would do better."
Was funny to hear coming from him since many people complained about the current interior.

Just tell your dad the interior isn't the greatest but the gas pedal sure works good! 
About a week ago I was unfortunately starving and made a detour to get a quick bite to eat. The only place around was Jack in the Box. So I pull up to the window and this young dude is like "Man that car is bad ***!" So I say "Thanks, it's a lot of fun" or something like that. Then he replies "It's a BMW, right?". LOL.
Got the country right I guess.

One guy pulled into a parking lot next to a Bentley and commented to the driver "nice Chrysler 300". Of course I've seen the opposite when a guy pulls up to an NSX and tells the driver "nice Ferrari".

His mama. Traded y0 mama in because she was squeaking.
I love some of these lines people ask.
Sadly, since I drive my CL65 like a grandpa most of the time, it's typically pretty inconspicuous.
But I do have two instances to share:
At the track, announcer called it a BMW. A guy sitting in the bleachers next to the person who was filming the run said "That's a Mercedes, you jackass!" (or some other such derogatory name, I don't quite remember). I'm know the announcer didn't hear him, but I still chuckled. Wish I still had that video.
The other time was when I was doing some work with some State Troopers. The one trooper takes off in his charger, and I keep up with him with no problem. Finally, about 130 he backs out of it, I pulled up, waved, and stepped on it. Of course, since mine lacks such silly things as a 158MPH speed governor, (by "lacks", it's been raised to something the car could never mechanically attain), by the time they got to the gathering spot, I was already out of the car and half geared up.
When they got there, the passenger in the trooper's car (another trooper) came up to me and said "I told "xyz" to not even bother that CL can smoke his patrol vehicle seven ways from Sunday in every category. He said BullS***!". I chuckled... again.
Edit: See? I lied.
One time at a Safeway parking lot in Mesa AZ, older black gentleman (don't know why race is important in the story) and his wife walk up to me and he says "That's a nice Mercedes. What is it"
I looked at him with my about as confused as a goat on AstroTruf look and said "It's... a Mercedes"
Guy looks at me, smiles with one of those patient smiles people reserve for the mentally handicapped (no, I'm not making fun of mentally handicapped people), and said "I know that. What model"
"Oh. CL65, Sir."
"Never heard of it."
"Very few were made in 05"
"What's it got under the hood? and if you tell me "A motor" I'll have my wife slap you" Mind you, I'm a little taller than average at 6'7", and built like a brick human waste disposal shed. She was about 5 foot nothing, and weighed about 80 lbs. I knew better than to be a smart ***. Them little women can be mean, and I wasn't wearing my biker boots to protect my shins if she decided to gnaw at them.
I said "It's got a twin turbo 6 Liter V12 in it"
"That's the 600" he says.
"No sir, the 600 is a 5.5" I think it is, I never bothered to double check since.
"Oh. Is it fast?"
"It can move out of its own way, yes."
"Very good. Have a good evening, young man"
"Thank you Sir.... Ma'am. You as well.

C63
Yesterday i was in the C63 with my wife & 5 yr old son driving home from his karate class. It was around 6:30pm & a lady in her mid 40's pulls up next to us & proceeds to tell my wife (who's in the front passenger seat) something along the lines of you know the paint is faded on the spoiler of your nice car? My wife knows i have a CF rear lip, so she just chuckled & told her that it's supposed to look like that. Lady just looked at us like we were crazy & drove off.

That's when you should have leaned over and told her "the only thing fading is your looks honey"
I hate when people are jealous and try to make $h!t up

LOL, I love this thread. My girlfriend and I go to this little mafia like Italian restaurant regularly (I dont exactly know why they allow our broke a$$es in there lol, must be our charm 
) and here is a list of the regulars cars: Maserati, Ferrari California, DBS, M6, Bentley Super Sport, a couple Porche Turbo S's, a really cool Mercedes S600 and a Spyker. Now these people are there almost everyday and I come rolling up in my C-Class and make the parking lot look cheap.
Im all excited about my car and im loving driving it everywhere I go. But at this restaurant I get Joked with:
"Your car has only 450 horse power"
"Your car is ruining the mystique of this joint"
"When are you trading that thing in for an upgrade"
"nice 18 inch rims lol"
"this thing is a really expensive toaster" making fun of the flip up nav.
"we'll just wait for you to get here" Cause there cars are all faster than mine. well, most of them anyway.
Darn rich people.....making fun of us poor folk. Well, poor in comparison to there bank accounts lol.

If anyone ever asks how much horsepower you have, just reply with a loud yell "IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!" But hold the last syllable for 5 seconds.
