The Nerve of Some S55 Drivers

Driving 80 West to the Oakland A's Game, which btw I got to sit in the owners Box of. Saw this in the Carpool lane yesterday, he was driving like a douche, and he really had the nerve to have this for his license plate. Also he was alone in his car in the carpool lane!

only an ******* would spend that much money on an automatic, no matter how much torque it has.

Actually the older non-Supercharged AMG's like the S55 pictured are pretty slow. And you can buy one for $20k these days.

I can't tell what year that is, I'm not a MB guy, but IIRC they're around 4.5 0-60.

I ran into a s63 with an exhaust the other night and I wasn't impressed by its stop light prowess, sounded mean though. (He tried to race me, I didn't take the bait)

I find the irony amusing. Driving like a douche is never nice.

It's the 65's you have to watch out for. Even with a GT35, I wouldn't mess with an SL65, or CL65 AMG, as it would be a hard spanking. Those bad boys are insanely fast, and if I had tons of money, yes I'd absolutely buy one as my DD since it has an auto.

today like 3 Lambo's blocked the entire highway on one side and drove really really slowly, didnt let others pass, etc... that's even worse than a plate like that!

Yeah, they are fast, I wouldn't even bother. And with the auto transmission, you can't even hope they're a crappy driver.

Speaking of driving like a douche(not to hijack thread)...I was nearly killed today by some jackass in a lambo who was passing a car over a double yellow through a blind turn on Lucas Valley Road up here in Marin, with three people on road bikes right in front of the car he was passing(the reason the other car was going so slowly)...thankfully my friend who was driving was paying very close attention. I couldn't have made up a worse situation to try and pull some douchebag move in.
