Got owned by c63- and WE WEREN'T EVEN RACING

Just thought I'd share with everyone-

I was driving down Garden State Parkway North this morning at around 9ish going to class and I see a c63 in black so I obviously had to slow down and give him a . Too bad he was a complete d-i-c-k and stared me down, then gunned it and cut me off with about an inch to spare.

I'm 19, the guy is like 40 years old... I was just trying to compliment his car lol... Anyways, I was TRYING to keep up with him but the highways were kinda busy so we were only doing like 60-70 on the parkway which isn't out of the norm. The guy was driving like a d-i-c-k YET again, tailing people and cutting them off trying to lose me I guess? Once again... I drive a c300, not a freakin m3 or something. Just tryna show some respect! But oh well, I know all c63 drivers aren't like that... hopefully. Still worship the car.

He probably thought you meant something like "Let's go "

Seriously, a Mercedes speaks its own class, but it's the driver that accounts for the other half of the prestige, or the lack of thereof. He was an a-something, but nobody could care less. The real problem, though, on an extreme note, he just defaced Mercedes and AMG. Embarassing moment, no doubt, for the name. I'd probably wish I was in an S4 or something for a second, until I was able to recall the last Audi driver that drove like him...

I had the same thing here. Every now and then I spot a Black C63, I always try to give the guy a smile and thumbs up but every single time he sees me he revs his engine and rips it while at the same time staring me down in the process. What a dousche.

Not many people younger than 40 can afford that kind of ride. I wonder if he would have the same ******** reaction if I pulled up next to him on my R6. He gives us all a bad name.

Honestly? Lmao I doubt he thought I meant I wanted to run our cars. C300 is no comparison in speed so he would be pretty dumb to think that lol. If anything I would have meant "hey can I do my best to even TRY to keep up with you!"

And yeah most of them are older drivers but i've seen my share of young AMG drivers. Blahhhhhhhhh oh well. Still a beautiful car. Nothing but love.

Im 29, and just got my C63, coming from an E55. I always give respect to ANYONE in ANYTHING giving props to me, as i do the same. I know the kind of people your talking about though. Think it makes them feel better to try and show off. Even though it just makes them look like a d1ck.. Ill feed some speed to it, if roads clear, and the guy in the other car just wants to hear, and see it take off..

Out here... In PR.. There are a couple of dcks that own AMG's... specially young gentlemens... 30-40 year old's... My take is that they like to prove they bought something better and for that increases their ego.. As for aestethics they don't seem that much different if they face a modded C Class...so they've got to state the obvious... The CAR RUNS FASTER!..

Since this seems to be so emasculating to some, I suggest swapping off those pokey C300s for a new E63 which has 67 more hp than the C63. Should do the job.

haha thats funny because im sometimes on the parkway when theres traffic on route 17 and i have a black c63 but that wasnt me, dont worry haha and im 17. bash at me all you want because of my age idc i dont let it bother me but i get alot of thumbs up from c class owners and it makes me happy. i once saw a lp640 roadster and pulled up next to him and gave him a thumbs up and he looked at me gave me a dirty look and turned away. then i saw him again and this time i was driving my dads quattroporte (a highly respectable car, even to a lp640 i would think) and gave him a thumbs up and he did the exact same thing. it pissed me off, i was just trying to tell him he had a sick car.

I always try to give a little wave, light flicker or thumbs up when I see other Mercedes drivers. It's a nice bond to share. I even try to park next to other Mercedes owners...kind of a random "mini meet". Sounds like that guy belonged in a BMW, not a Merc

Ugh I actually blew out a CLS55 last month, I caught up to him at about 140 and kept pushing until we ran into a bump of traffic.. I sorted my way through it and he got caught up by an opel or something and a minute later I was over a mile ahead of him.

Screw 'em. I wouldn't have given him the thumbs up. I wouldn't have even looked in his direction. You only owe people respect as humans until you get to know them. From there you decide if they get any more. Giving him recognition for what he drives...no way.

Maybe it was a case of Jersey Guido + C63 = douchebag.
