GL450...what?

I was heading on to I-84 East at Southbury, CT, which is about a 2 mile up hill entry cresting before the next exit. A 2010 GL450 in front of me decides she wants to show how fast a V8 SUV can go. She guns it up the ramp pulls about 3 cars lengths before I floor my 2007 CL600. No contest. Before we even hit the freeway itself I was at least 10 cars away from her at around 110mph. I slowed to the legal 65mph and she passes me in due time with eyes straight forward in obvious humiliation. She properly will head home and complain to her hubby that she wants a GL550 or G55 AMG.

worst racing story....maybe, ever?

Next time you try to race a soccer mom in a gigantic SUV, pull over, and slam your right hand in your driver's door. Then slap yourself in the face with your left hand.
