too much respect

how do you guys come up with all these kill stories. i can't find a damn person that wants to mess around. besides a stuck in traffic encounter with a gt500 i can't find any one willing to run.

this morning on open freeways i finally found 2 cars worthy of playing and both wouldn't...and it wasn't like they were casually driving when i happened on them. both an '03 cobra and a slightly older turbo pcar waved me off with the thumbs up and shaking their head as to say "no way am i racing that".

i can't even get a vette to race me...and those guys will race anything that happens to be traveling slightly faster than them.

I agree. Whenever I am at a light or there is open road ahead with a mustang, vette, pcar etc I get no play only a few looks. Or I will see these cars going in the opposite direction...especially M5's.

I did however send a hottie back to her sugardaddy after walking away from her Bentley Cont. this week. The only people around here that haul **** are the moms in there suvs.

I see very little action out on the roads here locally. Could people just know better than to mess with us? I usually have to instigate to have a little fun with the occasional willing participant. They all see our rear ends anyways. HAHAHA! SEE YA!

+1

i even tried to race two mustangs that were racing each other...i caught up to them and asked if they wanted to race..."we don't have enough gas to race you (as they were laughing)!"

as much as i enjoy the e, the lack of anybody willing to race kinda takes the joy out of owning it (racing myself gets boring after a while). i can't buy a race to save my life!!! it's so bad, i'm thinking about going back to an s.

you would figure in a city of 3 million you could get a race every once in a while.

It's all about RESPECT from others when they see you in the E55. Yesterday on the way home from the office, I came up on a Black M5 as I merged onto the 5 freeway. The guy looked over my way but quickly turned his head straight and drove away like an old man.

HI!

Here in Puerto Rico, there is always someone willing to race. It is usually me who declines. Earlier this morning I was being teased by a Jaguar S type R. At first I was not interested but after a couple of minutes, we ended up side by side at a red light. I turned off the ESP and let her rip as the light turned green. We raced up to about 105MPH by which time I had him by 5-6 cars. We ended up side by side again at the next light, nodded at each other, and went our separate ways.
Sorry to hear that you are not having as much fun.
Best Regards
Victor

sometimes i even wonder if it's really a case of not enough respect. i also get looks of "what does this crazy guy think...i'm going waste my time racing a family sedan". i can't win...well i could if i could race someone.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
I think more people are ignorant than savvy. One night at a local dragstrip nobody would race me. It took me a little while to realize it wasnt because they knew what the E55 was, it was because they didn't think it was worth their time to race a 4-door family car. As if it wasn't enough nobody knew about E55's, wy friend was in the stands and he said people were asking what kind of Lexus it was. Even while making a pass he said nobody took notice since the car was so quiet. They finally took notice when they saw it ran a 12.xx. After that pass, pummeling an unsuspecting f-body in the process, nobody would race me for the opposite reasons.
