Not Against A MB, But Hilarious !
I only post my races that involve a Mercedes, whether I'm driving the C or if I'm racing against a Mercedes. But this was just too funny not to post.
Today for the first time, I saw a Geo Metro driver try to race. That's right, a freakin' Geo Metro! I don't know if he was racing the pedestrians, a sun clock or what, but it was simply hilarious seeing all 3 cylinders scream to redline and see the driver slam gears. I was driving 2 lanes over when I heard ricer war cries, and saw this thing struggling to accelerate. I pulled next to him just for fun laughing my *** off the whole time as he slammed gears into 2nd and 3rd. I ust checked and they are supposed to be rated at 55hp AT THE CRANK!!

Errrr.... I was in my friend's M3 once.... there was a Geo Metro, white, stock tires.... heck, it ran around 90-100mph... (he passed us quite fast while we were around 85) may be hard but seemed to be achievable.
My friend decided to back off, just in case the Geo flew or decided to do some acrobatic maneuver LOL.
That became the story of a lifetime - M3 got killed by a Geo Metro

I had to back off on a crazy mexican kid driving a souped up civic in my C55. I rather let him pass then having him slam in my car doing some crazy 2f2f manuver.
