Black W210 E55 AMG in Bellevue - belong to anyone here?

Today I was in the E55 on Richards Rd, northbound, around 4:40pm. W210 pulls up behind me at a light, then alongside me and paces me. I look over and see it is an E55, middle aged guy driving it is intently examining my car with kind of an odd surprised look on his face. I speed up and he matches me, so I take this as a sign of playing, and punch it a little - he tails me, then I let off and he goes past. At the next light he's examining my car closely again - I kind of motion to ask if something is wrong with my car, and he gives me a thumbs up (my car is OCD-level clean, that might have been it). Was that anyone who reads or posts here?

300+ views, this place gets quiet traffic anyway.

Saw another W210 E55 in Bellevue this afternoon, Fred Meyer parking lot. This one was silver. It looked decent from a small distance, but really needed a bath.

Thursday afternoon in Bellevue, I saw the twin to my car, another tectite W210 E55, and a silver 99 model E55. The tectite driver gave me a wave as he noticed I noticed his car. Surely one of these cars has to belong to a reader. Eastside suburbs of Seattle have a lot of these old school AMGs compared to other areas, there are at least 2 or 3 C43s running around too.

That's neat there are so many friendly amg drivers up there. You should try and find some euro meets to go to.
