First ML63 guy to go to jail!!!! Clocked at.......

Well hang on....quick story.

SLR owner at my dealer decided he wanted to try the ML63. He is out on our famous straight desert highways and cop lasers him clean at....

















155mph!!!
Guy's a millionaire, but State Boys threw him straight in jail. Course he posted instant bail, but 1---5----5!! Yeah baby!!!

it can hit more than that, there's an option that removes the limit from 250 km/h to 270 km/h and i bet i can hit closer to 280 to 290 km/h who knows.

20+ to list......
Speaking of ML63, I came across one with my dealer when we went to the dealerships warehouse to pick up some clips, when we were there, NYFD was also there because of an fire alarm went off from a factory across the street. I asked for the key for the ML, went into the car and started it, upon I blipped the throttle a little, 2 firemen came over and checked it out, and we were talking. It was funny because the ML63 could draw such attention, and even the firemen had to drop what they were doing and came to check it out.

Glad I was under the radar (or laser) last week on my drive across your fine state. Actually I did a bit better (3 MPH) than that guy.

What a d*** head cop.

Especially since the guy was test driving it, and that is was out on a long empty stretch of road.

LOL!!!!!!!! Why is a cop a D**K? The guy was travaling at 155 mph
its not GERMANY why would someone even do it! I mean take it to 100 or 120, why would someone test top speed ON SUV anyway, PLUS the guy has a supercar to do that. I say its pretty dumb!

Maybe he was checking to see if that ML63 had a 155mph top speed limiter or the 171mph option

No traffic on highways., roads do suck but there are good ones. I paid 3.50$ couple of days ago for speeding. Most of the times you can just continue to fly by and not pull over at all. but I just wanted to give that 3 bucks bride after 3 years in US, gotta find smth good even in bad things....;-)
