my wife bananas! :D
backed out of a street race.
was on a local street heading north after sushi tonight. I was stopped at a red light and an audi a5 pulls up beside me. Dude inside car revs his engine, looks over, revs again... girl beside him is getting ready for a race of her lifetime.
I gave him a head shake... point at my wife sitting beside me and give him the signal to check out the baby seat in the back....
on the green, the dude doesnt care and tire squeals to victory. I do a normal start with my chrysler town and country minivan and happily drive home. (I'm in the process of moving these days and the C63 unfortunately sits in the garage more often as I need my father's vans carry capacity)
seriously?! really? a town and country?! dude must be desperate to impress his girl.

Same thing happened to me last week, this BMW 330 kept pulling hard on me at every stop light despite my refusal to race him cuz my wife & newborn was in the backseat of my C63. My wife kept telling me to show him what the car can do, but I didn't want to risk it... LOL
Plus this fool probably didn't even see I had a baby in the backseat, what a cocky driver!! LOL

Don't feel bad, Fung63..............not that you do, of course. I'da done the same thing; I mean, an AAAAAAAAAAA-5?
I'd be like "Dude, don't flatter yourself. Your design is attractive, but you could be in a frickin overpriced (err, WAY overpriced), glorified front wheel drive RS5 and you'd still be my b#$@!. It's already been proven. Goodbye. And have a nice day."
Your restraint is admirable, as I think we can all relate.
Don't these fools know what we're driving? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but are we not still driving the fastest naturally aspirated saloon (been catchin up on some Top Gear UK episodes lately) on the planet? And it handles quite well, for that matter.
My research dept. tells me that only 4-doors with boost can take us, so those punks need to recognize the amazing 6.2 that AMG has constructed for us. It wasn't Int'l Performance Engine of the Year for 2 consecutive years for nuthin. Supplanted only by a recent Ferrari V8. Dammit.
Adios, homies!

well done mate... could have been worse like my experience on Sunday after basketball with my nieces in the car. A riced up Honda Accord (Euro R) pulled up at the lights next to me and stalled his vehicle due to his incompetence the second the lights when green.

Baby or no baby, I'm showing fools what time it is. However, in the 5 months I've own this car I have yet to be stopped at a light next to anything worth gassing, I've been dreaming about it though.

Im from Georgia ( Eastern Europe. not a state ) so here all you get for speeding or reckless driving is a 60$ Ticket
And situations like that happens here all the time... when some kids in Honda civics and bwm 3 series get beside you at lights and start to rev the engine and that realy gets annoying
so i luv kickin their asses...Sry for Bad english.

lol...just kidding. As an owner, i feel the A5 should have had more HP from the factory.
