Friendly run with CLS55
First off, I know that CLS55 is faster than my car, just sharing what happened yeasterday on my way to friend's place (where we had our Chicago meet last year).
I'm cruising with my wife on Higgins road towards Roselle Rd, about 10 pm. On one of the lights we see silver CLS55 right in front of us. I passed him after the light to see if he'd bite and.....he did - he flew by but slowed down on the next light. OK, I thought, let's see if he wants to run. I caught up with him and started honking. He jumped after the first one but realized that I didn't follow and slowed down. This time I honked three times and pushed it all the way! We started at about 30-40 (can't tell exactly). He actually got a jump on me and pulled about 3/4 of a car. Then, to my and my wife's disbeliefe we caught up to about 1/3 of a car and were going like that till I let go at 60-70 (again, can't tell for sure). His car sounded AMAZING and by the sound of it he was pushing it pretty hard. I caught up with him on the next light and gave him props on his car. The guy was pretty cool and good sport and said I have not such a bad car myself.
Well folks, that's the story. We all know CLS55 is faster and I don't really know what happened last night but it was FUN, the guy on CLS was classy and gave me a chance to run him. Good times, buddy and cool looking car
