LOL. For those who are not aware, there is history to this comment. I recall reading some punk stole the front plate from the car earlier in the year. It was not about money but more about morals and what a pain it was to get the AMG euro style plate to begin with. I think godfather is referencing that. Def made me laugh. cheers!

Guys, I just arrived in Dallas this afternoon. I pulled my car out of the trailer and decided to take it for a spin, I have not driven it since MIR. I'm cruising down the road minding my own business when a CTS-V pulls up next to me. The driver looks over smiles, waves and then pulls out a video camera. He revs his engine to entice me a little so I figure, what the hell, no way is this guy going to beat me, I own one of the fastest V's in country, what are the odds this guy has something for me. I nail it, my tires break loose for about 30-40 ft, I easily get ahead of him but we are coming up on traffic so I decide to switch lanes while still on the gas 100%......well apearently they had some ice in Dallas this past weekend and unknown to me is the fact that they pour sand on the road instead of salt, as soon as I hit the sand that had appearently accumilated and built up between lanes my car spun out, I did my best to counter steer and control the car, the next thing you know I am heading down an embankment into a field, at this point I have managed to slow the car to about 70mph but still pretty much out of control, I guess I founf the week point of my Black Series, off-roading LOL. I finally get control of the car and bring it to a hault. I stop and get out to inspect the damage, I look up and there is the guy with the CTS V still video taping. Much to my suprise I did not damage anything, I thought for sure I would be calling up Evosprort to order a new front diffuser, but it looks un-touched.
I assume that this guy in the CTS will be posting this up on You Tube so keep your eyes peeled and if anyone finds it be sure to post up a link or e-mail it to me. I want to see this for myself.

Glad you're okay Jim, next time don't let your pride get the best of you I guess. I'm guilty of the same thing so I'm essentially not one to talk.

I did not find the wipe-out video but I did find a place that specializes in CLK Black detailing. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Bikini-Driving-2_158435.htm

I can only post this cause we know you and the BS are both totally fine.
This really pisses me off!! You think the d*ck would have got out and asked if you were okay.
We need to find this CTS-V and kill the hell out of it.
He'll surface sooner or later, then we'll get that SOB!!

I've got before and after pictures that were sent to me by a neighbor yesterday of your off road excursion.
People were asking if it was me, but thankfully I'm on the East Coast right now.

Where do you live? I have a place in Addison and just closed on another place in The Colony. I think I was in about Lewisville when I went off-roading.

I can't right now because the connection I'm on is probably a 28.8.
I received the pics asking if it was my car 20 minutes after you posted this thread.
Looks like it happened at I-35 E and 121.
I recognized your car by the spoiler.

Do you know where Austin Ranch community is? How far are you from there? I just picked up one of the Townhome/Condos there from one of the Dallas Mavericks players that got traded during the off season, I don't remember his name, I'm not a big BB fan.
