First encounter with 'Euro-ricer' trying to race my E63. LOL!!
So, with my NSX I am used to the Civic/Integra/(fill in JDM car here) trying to race me, but with my E63 I usually am running under the radar. Well....that was until a couple of days ago. 
I am driving in traffic minding my own business when......WOAH!! What the hell was that?? It is some schmuck in a white Jetta 1.8T with black Neon SRT-4 wheels and some stickers doing a 'fly-by' on me. He zipped past, 1.8 liter motor revving higher than it ever should, and then had to SLAM on the brakes to avoid the 12 cars stopped at the intersection in front of us. By bad luck, I was next to him at the intersection and looked over to see what kind of an idiot was driving this Jetta. Behind the tint was spiked black hair and a guy trying to look tough, and waiting for the light to turn green. Sure enough, as soon as the light turned, he blazed off and started sipping through traffic until he realized I was not racing him, at which point he slowed back down. This carried on for a while until he finally gave up trying to taunt me and took off through traffic again. I had to shake my head and just laugh. What was he thinking?

Well...lol...driving a performance car is a lot like sex. It's not so important as to what you're working with, but how you use it!
Now, considering you have the E63 AMG and you were not up to the challenge of trying to teach him a lesson......imo I think, he thinks, you put the 'itch' in ***** - Mitch!
LOL.....I'm just sayin' .....

LOL!! Well, I guess I just did not really care that much what some goober in a Jetta thought about me, and I sure did not feel like racing him in traffic just to prove my car is faster.

You've gotta choose your battles wisely and I understand where you're coming from. It was especially fun in my big turbo EVO though, each and every ricer got a 2nd gear pull and the zomggg look on their faces to remember. Especially when a fireball was to follow.
I see it as teaching them a good lesson, try it sometime

I had a run in today with a c230 sporting euro style long plates in the rear window that said "dtm power" and had some loud fart can on it. Weaved through 3 lanes of traffic to hang on my bumper then, pulled out and passed with that poor 2.3 revving for its life. I just shake my head at these guys sometimes...

You got a lot more control than me bro. You line up at a red-light with me and signal that you wanna get it on, it's on. I don't do traffic weaving though, mad props for laying off on that sheet.
