I just saw a Z06 go by and believe it or not, the guy didn't have a mullet. This is total I hate Corvette guys!

e1000

nooooooooo!!!!! I don't believe.

Well, I was just at a stop light and not all of the cars accelerated at the exact same rate. What is this world comming to????

Shake

No way, that is crazy!

Racing has just become popular yesterday. The world is over now.

Thats because you are driving a Mercedes so that makes you better than everyone else. Did you smoke them? I bet you did! How fast did you make it up to? 40?

this woman in a minivan got a much better launch than I did. I lost traction from adjusting my sunglasses and before you knew it the van pulled a length on me. I think she even had KIDS in her car too!

Challenge64

great. welcome to page 2.

I think you need to REREAD my answer to Topcarbon. I came here trying to make a funny story about some guy in a Corvette ..with a Mullet. Yes. He really did have a Mullet. I see Corvettes all the time and this guy is the first I see with one. But whatever. The mullet is true.

I have no idea how much I "won" by. As I said...I was trying to make a funny story out of a daily event. Coming to an intersection with a merging lane.

At this point this is getting blown out of proportion with more crappy posts like this.

+1. I suppose we should reconsider EVER putting the pedal to the floor from this point forward, because another board member had a terrible wreck. Although I'm very careful with the wife and baby in the 55, I will not refrain from similar "kills" at low speed. I don't necessarily abide by the 65 mph limit at all times either. Wait,,,,,,,,,,,,is that a knock at my door???? NOOOOOOOOO, don't taze me bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FastDonzi

so i guess the point that TopCarbon is trying to make is that it would be OK to race without your loved ones in your car, and endanger other people around. that's a really dumb comment. if Topcarbon is going to PREACH safety to us then he should post a comment after every post in this forum.TAKE IT EASY COWBOY! i'm not too excited about his kill story either,[sorry Challenge64], but i don't think that Challenge64 was really racing. racing on the highway is more like dodging in and out of traffic without using your blinkers and cutting other drivers off. what he did is no more reckless than people i see every day doing on the road, like reading, text messaging, EATING and DRINKING their super size coffee and just being oblivious to their surroundings.

Or better yet, the dumba$$ (sorry mods, this guy deserves the title), who has the newspaper spread out across the ENTIRE DASH of the Accord he drives to who knows where, EVERY MORNING. Yes, I leave for work about the same time every day, and see this same idiot almost daily performing the same death defying act. I guess he thinks he's safe being square in the middle of the road because he has both a left a right lane to wander into and is driving "only" 60 mph. No doubt that's better than any amount of full throttle driving at any speed, but I have never seen him pulled over. Oh how I wish a LEO such as EDJ would happen across this guy.

FastDonzi

Thats funny! you should stop at a light next to him if you can, roll down ur window,and hand him the Sunday Record.

Please remember that because I will need many of the members here to remember that video and the attempted provocation.

juicee63

THAT was funny, "dont taze me bro":

juicee63

Your story as well as many of the vids and discussions here are going to be scrutinized. sometimes the scrutiny is from a place of concern and sometimes it is just somebody being a hypocrit and trying to further the mis conception that all people who are members here are also irresponsible self proclaimed street racers.

good work.show the

People, let's back off now. Although I may not agree on him "racing" with his kids in the car, never once did he claim he is better then anyone else because he has a Mercedes or that he can accelerate the fastest, he simply posted a kill story and got chewed out for it (sorry ).

And what's with the not believing the mullet? That seems pretty stupid, but I tell ya what today I went to 7 Eleven and Bin Laden was behind the counter! True story, you won't believe me because it's stereotypical? Trust me, I've seen plenty stereotypcial Mercedes drivers, yes with the golf clubs and all. Open your eyes, some stereotypes are true; some just happen to be more then others.

Sorry Challenge64, I didn't mean to jump on you for accelerating quickly. Sometimes I don't want to give up my lane either.

Fast55

I wish. It's strictly freeway, and believe me, it's not safe rolling next to him long enough to tell him what a douche bag he is. It really is amazing.

Challenge64

Thanks. well actually nor do I.

In fact even as people have posted here with their flames..and I guess in light of the recent MB accident, the whole thing was in poor taste on my part to post the story.

As for the actual event I described..even in it's most watered down form is still me hitting full throttle when a stoplight turned green. That too in retrospec was probably in poor judgement. This whole thing was a non-event in my life and I thought nothing of till I stumbled across this forum.

In anycase its been a strange experience to say the least

Wasn't bluemax only doing 70 in that crash? The fact OP wasn't doing 150 isn't relevant.

OP is a big boy.....he can do what he wants, he knows the risks. Like with bluemax, though, don't expect any sympathy from anyone here if something happens one day while doing it.

Besides...you have a 63....you need not prove anything to a Vette....let alone a guy with a mullet driving a Vette.

I think people get on some people for racing here not as a nagging thing....but more because MBWorld members are somewhat of a family and we don't like hearing about stories like bluemax because we realize it could be any of us.

First of all, I don't think he was trying to prove he was a better man or had a better car.

Second, its pretty amazing for a luxury truck to spank a sports-car icon...even if its 10 years old.

I did something like this pretty recently (don't feel like posting the details of what I did because I'd get flamed)...after my little manuever, the bald hispanic guy pulls up next to me in his Acura TL, mouthing curse words at me. I roll down my window and ask whats his problem, he goes "nobody pulls that sh*t on me, n***a. I'll kill you white boy." Usually I don't care and ignore these type of people, but instead I slowed down, took off my seatbelt and told him "pull over right now and we'll see who the tough guy is." He then tried swerving to actually hit me. He laughed and made a pretty gay hand gesture and goes "you got no ***** n***a, you're just a p**sy white boy" and I laugh and tell him he's a pansy and if he has any pride, he'd pull over and fight me otherwise he can drive back to his boys and tell him a white boy scared him away. He then proceeds to hit me again, rolls his window up, and hides in traffic. All of this happened outside of a high school on a crowded main road.

Now that I look back, I think I remember him telling me he'd stab me. If he was a man and he did pull over, I could have been killed. So not only did I do a risky and dangerous move that could've resulted in injury or death, but then after "the kill" I could have been stabbed. You never know who carries a gun or knife on them now a days. While we may be hunting for "kills" some people on the road have nothing to live for and are actually hunting for a real kill. So just be careful who you cut off...

BTW, I didn't know that the N word is now used against white people

Put me on the list of bad Dads, too. I routinely goose the SL with my Daughter in the car. Full throttle sprints to 40 MPH, or so, via her request. On occasion, I break the speed limit by 10 MPH with her as a passenger. I need help with this because I know it's so wrong but this CRAZY behavior produces the most genuine laugh and smile a little girl can make. I don't race much, though, because 99% of the cars out there are lame when compared to my ride.

Oh, and
