Fun drive...

I just went over to a friend's house and on the way within an hour I had two people try and race me... The first was some redneck kid in a yellow focus . I would have gone for it if I hadn't of been in the turn lane- The second incident was when I blew by this little compact car on the interstate. I pulled off and at the light, it pulls up next to me and revs it's engine. Thats when I realized it was a geo storm with two mexicans in it. I couldn't help but to laugh.... I mean c'mon guys, did you really think I would waste my time racing a you? I'm all for showing off what my benz has to offer (even though it's only a c280), but come on, a geo?? Anyone have similar experiences?

C220
uh...

I think the coolest part about your post was that your profile image has the little German with a beer and a flag... Deutschland uber alles

I don't know of anyone who races a C280... but the part about the Mexican jumping beans (the mexicans being the little worms and the geo being the "bean") was pretty funny too...

That happens to me all the time. I just ignore them. If I'm in the mood to play I'll give 'em what they want till the light turns green and then I just go normal acceleration and watch them make asses of themselves.
