Smoked C55 Special Edition

Last Sunday I had a very exciting experience for me....

Saw a C55 Special Edition on the fast lane so I drove beside him and gave him a big smile and a thumbs up..... and 1 second later, I floored my car and smoked him....

NO chance for C55 Special Edition against my aging E55. But weird, I felt sad instead of happy but still I laughed till my tears went out my eyes....

Oh.... one important thing I forgot to mention... this C55 Special Edition was an old 190E model (I think around 1987-1990) with C55 and AMG badge.... the wheels were even an old MB stock wheels. What was he thinking? Trying to impress his g/f with his C55 Special Edition (or should I say "custom" built)?

Several points you raised:

You state that your E55 is "aging." How old can it be?

You confused a 190 with a C55 just b/c of emblems? You are aging faster than your E55

You raced the frankenbenz and won. You like necrophelia. :v

Then you made us all relive your "hot chick with a trouser stiffy" courting story. Thanks alot

Vomit..... it was just a joke, OK? No offense to anyone..... just want to share a funny story.

And I wasn't proud at all..... I don't think it was a kill story either... as of course, my car would be faster.... even my Maxima would definitely be faster than that car.... I was just amazed at some posers who did not think twice to put a ridiculous joke.....

If I saw a W203 C class with AMG kits and put C55 and AMG badges, I would only feel sorry.... but this one? A frankenbenz with C55 and AMG badges.... c'mon. This is a real ONE OF A KIND That's why I called a "C55 SPECIAL EDITION".

BTW, my "aging" E55 I drove that time was a 2001 E55....

Once again.... it's just a joke. Cheers!

now now now, let's not show any disrespect to "vintage" or "classic" benzes as i like to call them, they paved the way for where we are today.

That's a nice Benzo. That's not the AMG Hammer, is it?
