Encounter with an E55 on a German highway
I was driving back direction Munich, enjoying the German highway, it was in the night and raining a lot. And I saw these xenon coming fast to me, and this black E55 overtook me on the left lane, and took the curve arround 190 km/h. I was quite surprised, I have an Audi S4 (below, stock engine 
)
Don't get me wrong, I could have taken the curve as quickly (without my girlfriend
), but I was really surprised how fast this Mercedes can be, in a curve and despite rain! I have always been thaught "bad weather is for quatros" 
So I decided to follow this car, but it was difficult. The Mercedes accelerated really quickly until 200 km/h, the S4 is not as quick. And it is not possible in Germany to go faster than 200 on a 2 lanes, it is too dangerous. Of course I am not surprised a 354 HP Mercedes is faster than a 265 HP Audi, but it was really nice to see and I thought I should post this here with a photo of my S4!
:p
Maybe I some day I should get an ABT chip!

My c class could not handle it, and right after new year on this german like town in georgia, my car spun out, did a full 360 missed a 100 feet ditch by half a foot, and scraped another car.
It drifted for about 50 meters.
my water pump broke on impact and the car leaked all the water so i could not drive it home. i had to toe it which cost $220. Plus i have to wait for the car to get fixed for about a week and a half more.
