Oh yeah because we all know that Corvette owners have mullets! 
Just like all Mercedes owners are yuppy golfers that cheat on their wives while on business trips!
You win by alot at 40mph?
Now I will not sit here and say I have never street raced because yes I have. Funny enough in Camaros and Corvettes and I don't have a mullet. Imagine that. With kids in my car? No. I am not one to judge you on how you conduct yourself with your family so carry on with your bad self at 40mph.

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
Oh, and

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.

Well I now see TopCarbon is posting in Lambochat too about this.
Look. Ive spent years in both driving/racing schools & even more racing both in amatuer and professional series and think Im a pretty good judge of right and wrong.
So to your comment "When will then learn?"..sorry. Doesnt really apply here.
Let me tell the same story again..but without the "Kill Story" theme.
I was headed off to the zoo with the family. We were headed down 44th street (yes I see you too are in Arizona.) and we came to a red light. guy next to us to the right (corvette mullet and girlfriend) stopped too. hmm..they might be turning right...as his lane ends in a few hundred yards.
Light turns green. I step on to the gas. Accelerate to the speed limit. believe its 40 mph. look behind me. There is that same Corvette.
End of story. Not as exciting when I tell it this way now is it? Certainly not racing. I definately wasnt speeding. and imo not at all irresponsible.
Thoughts? opinions? or do you want to tell me in person at the Saturday Cars & Coffee?

Speaking of stereotypical, if you read the OP comments he fits the stereotype of most MB guys that they are superior. There is nothing superior about being stuck in a boring job to pay for your obviously overpriced status symbols. The only status I am concerned with is performance, you don't see me acting like I am better because no MB can put me in it's rearview...
Sell the ML and get an E55.

I think this makes sense. The Corvette didn't know he was racing. If he did he would have smoked that pig ML63. If I lost to a bloated truck I would sell my car. There is no way an ML63 could beat a competent driver in a c5,c6.

LOL now THATS stereotypical...hopefully I don't turn out like this guy if I get a Z06 this spring
lolThe ML63 is a sub 13 second truck. It's got AWD and 507hp. Why would you be suprised if it beat a C5 Vette? And also, from the looks of the story...they weren't even racing.

LOL..well the world will never know if this mullet driving Corvette owner was actually trying to merge over into my lane ....BUT if I do happen to see the guy and his girlfriend with the really bad 1980's bighair perm each dangling cigarettes out of their respective windows in their VW Bug..I guess we can all conclude he was trying..he did lose...and he did sell his car..

It's amazes me
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

Check the murder rate in DC versus Burlington VT (no concealed carry permit required in VT!) and you'll see what I mean.

Well Ive got 2 more stories of Mullets and cars. Guess I've picked on the Corvette owner enough by now..time to move on...
- Back in mid 1990s I was at our local Ferrari dealership and in comes a black Ferrari Testarossa ive never seen before. But this car was a little different than the Ferrari Testarossas weve all seen before.
The owner of the car and his boyfriend were from out of state. Oregon if I remember correctly. They were living out of the Testarossa and driving about the country in it. They had made several special modifications to the car...the best being a TV attenna from a limo on the back lid. There were feathers stuck in the ac vents and bandanas wrapped around the headrests. I really wish I took a picture.
Course the owner and his boy toy were both straight out of a "White Snake" video with matching mullets to boot. Everyone at the dealership had a great laugh about it.
- 2nd story is when I lived in Germany and about an entire subculture there...and this includes Mercedes.
I lived there from 1988 to the early 1990s. During that time it was really popular for a certain part of the population to get mullets and really tight jeans. These guys..and sometimes girls..also wore white adidas with the 3 black stripes, smoke and drink like mad, and worship "FC bayern".
These guys would show their colors in all sorts of ways. Biggest being in the cars they drove. Usually they drove Opel Mantas, but they would also cruise about in Mercedes 190Es.
In the most extreme form, their Mercedes would be painted all white. White "190E" letters (usually they would add "AMG" even though it wasnt) They would have white hubcaps (they couldnt usually afford better) and have "FC Bayern" banners hanging from their rearview mirrors. We called them "Eurofags".
At one point colorful splash stickers for cars became popular...Imagine shooting your car with a paintball gun. Course..now there were 1000s of Mullets all driving about with splashes on their Eurofag cars.
I knew a few of these guys and they were actually pretty nice. They tended to smell..but nice. Actually they didnt speak German either..usually a dialect. So I didnt really understand them. But nice.
Now...for those that think this might be an exaggeration, the "Simpsons" kinda made fun of them back in an episode where Grandpa Simpson & Bart rescue a WW2 treasure from Burns at the bottom of the Ocean..only to have 2 eurofags take it away at then end.

1. In 1985 I'm at a highend gun store in Bernardsville NJ when the US MD of Ferrari drives in in the latest high end F. at the time. He had an ascot, swept back shades, driving gloves, Stevio Lacets, the whole deal. Anyway he is in to get his Beretta SXS adjust and he was VERY overbearing/rude to the gunsmith and everyone else. He pays his bill and with a huff takes his guncase outside where he steps off the curb into a massive pile of dog excrement! Instant karma!
2. This guy I know saves up all his $ and buys a used F. 308. He takes it into the dealership and they charged him $3000 for a tuneup because they claimed they had to remove the rear interior for the car. This was in 1980?
3. I had a 275 GTB4 V12 for 6 months while my NYC friend was in Europe. I was a poor grad student and he paid for everything car-related and made me promise Id drive it long and hard at least once a week. Nice reliable fast car. It had 2, 4, 6 or 12 of everything. As the Brits say, a real "crumpet catcher!"

Overpriced? Maybe....but there are alot more people who would laugh at you for paying $60k for a dime-a-dozen American car than us. We could race and you could beat exotics by a million car lengths and it still wouldn't matter....you still have a Vette. I guess I find it ironic you have such a low view of Mercedes when all your other posts talk about how much you like them and want to get one.
Sorry...back to my boring job. My car payment is due this week.

I'm wondering if an "AMG upgrades" on a non AMG is a poseur? I'm pretty sure there were posts around here that whatever you do with upgrades and badges, it's still a wannabe.

By the way, good choice on the 55. It only took 2 years for it to drop to the mid 60's. The normal SL didn't even drop that far after 2 years let alone the 55. Good choice.

You know, I don't even know why I wrote that crap. I really don't care who drives a car or what make it is. I know what cars I like, and I live a blessed life. I have always had a weird love affair with the E55 AMG and that is why I am here. Every car make has stereotypes. Sorry about the insults, I am just competitive by nature.

Get out seriously! As a Vette owner you don't break down. You get your mullet wig and challenge him to a race! Got it?

Yup you got that right. I will not cut any breaks for him. I use to own fast cars and there is a reason I have the C class because it is slow. So much for joking. You guys are way too wound up. Take it easy there TopCarbon. Honestly, I don't care what anyone drives. It doesn't impress me in the least.
