Stupid show-off

Okay. This morning I was heading to work from the flower mart to get some flowers. I am friends with one of the owners of a store in the flower mart so I went to get some flowers for my girl. Now I'm on about to catch the 101 freeway from that one street with the train station in la. I see a COMPLETELY STOCK S500 with a license plate that says BRABUSA.

Now I say to myself what the hell? So I drive past him in the lane next to him and then what do you know. He floors it like no tom into my lane and is now on my ***. I ask myself what the hell this guy is thinking, so I go 3/4 throttle to get him off of me.

As most of you prbably figured out, I got good distance from him. Then as I get onto the freeway he rides my *** like no tomorrow and as I try to switch lanes, this stupid *** goes 2 lanes over almost bumping me from behind. So I swerve back into the original onramp lane that I was in and wait. He then decides to take off and show me how fast his stock S500 is compared to my car. So I get a little angry and switch into the lane with absolutely no cars (just my luck :v ) I go after him never giving FULL throttle because I don't need to.

I catch up to him at the exit(we somehow ended up gettin off the same exit) and I give him the WTF look. He lowers his window and gives me a smirk. I give him the wtf look again while shaking my head and laughing at him. He seriously looked like he was no older then 19. His seat was rolled all the way back into the seat behind him and was bumping tupac.

I just wanted to beat him senseless and ask him why he wants to show off his STOCK S500 to me and endanger other people on the freeway by swerving in and out of lanes just to get some distance on me.

Clueless. Probably driving Dads S while his Civic is in the shop getting the neon installed underneath.

Its expensive to look cheap these days

I used to live in a very expensive neighborhood in SoCal. One of my neighbors's wife had a minivan with, "A420SEL" on the plates. LOL! Living in a multi-million dollar house and you can't afford a real 420SEL? Sheesh

Question...are you saying the TAG itself is tasteless or was it just his driving style? I have an AMG license plate frame on my CLK 320 and had an audisport plate frame on my A4 before i sold it. I dont see anything wrong with the frame as long as the car isnt rebadged or anything (mine isnt)...the driving on the other hand...it sounds like he was trying to show off, not race for fun, so thats a big thumbs down in my book.

It wasn't a TAG. It was his license plate. It read BRABUSA. Call me crazy but I think of Brabus USA when I see that plate. And seeying that plate on a completely stock S500 was kind of funny...Havin an amg license plate frame is whateverz but I mean having a license plate that says brabus with nothing brabus on the car is the funny part.

King was talking about a license PLATE FRAME and what I was talkin about was the LICENSE PLATE itself. It's one thing to have a frame of whatever you want but to have a license plate with something that you have nothing of is rediculous...

I saw a guy with "Colt 45" on his license plate once. I struck up a conversation thinking he may be into quality firearms of some sort. He replied he had never owned a gun

Later, he exited the liquor store carrying a 40 of Olde English 800

......guess he changed brands

I won't even go there. However, you just couldn't suck it up, you had to show off your speed as well to catch up to him, so either way don't complain and then do it yourself.

Cool

lets just say:..

if thats how he plays the game, then let him

if u dont like it...just stay away., better of staying away than catching up and look at him... i mean..since u dont like how he acts and everything...then im sure u will never want to see him again.

First of all.. long time reader here, first time poster.

This story is too funny even though it lays on the dangerous side.
I believe the "S500" brabusa is a , ummm.. white one?
I've seen quite a couple of times a white S Class with the 'brabusa' license plates arround here; racing a brand new honda accord in a 35mph once and the other time it went trough two consecutive red lights like that. It kind of stuck together these two values: the 'brabusa' decorative license plate and that driving style.

Sun,

Think you need to lose the Wald E320 bodykit. You're getting too much attention with it. Think the reason why young buck ran up against you is because he was thinking that you have a E320 and put up the E55 badge and thought he was going to teach you a lesson. When instead you're the one who thought him a lesson. AAhhh what am i saying carry on... :p
