I ran into a SL55 AMG... Crappy vid SHORT VERSION:
Guy being cocky in AMG Merc can't pass V in a dig. Vid provides all details.
LONG VERSION:
Well, starts out more like he blows past me at the light without me even paying attention, then kinda merges into my lane while I'm semi-on it with no signal. AND THEN he brakes hard... down to about 7-10mph... and then drives at 10mph for about a block or so with no one ahead of him, or no lights.
Eventually, a light goes red and I pull up next to him. Just looking to run him now, I say whats up, and his first words are "Come on bro. What kinda horsepower you got in THAT?"
LOL Well, long story short, I end up coaxing him into a nice little dig run... where I stay ahead about a bumper all the way up to 3rd gear where he lets off, and then I let off.
He was right beside me, but he never pulled ahead. So much for your '510hp'. I don't know WHY, but for some reason, I wasn't even upset that he drove like a complete dick and pulled a flyby on me, merged in, and then slammed the brakes... and then answered like a dick when i rolled my window down. Then again, I'm not too surprised. People who can't drive in expensive cars tend to be dicks anyway.
No one needs to take my word for it though, because I've got some very crappy grainy footage out of the tiny camera I keep in my car. Its no go-pro (its more like a no-go. LMAO), but its honestly only in there in case of an accident and I need to prove who is at-fault... since I had a very nice accident about 1.5 years ago where I was rear ended into another car and wrote off my old CTS.

I do like 90-95% night driving. You guys in SRK know I'm only on late afternoons and in the middle and wee hours of the night. LOL
I want a Go-Pro. I just think someone will ****** it off the car while driving around and waiting at the light. LMAO
What I need is to figure out a good mounting system to put a camera inside the interior of the car.

I'm going to have to. I was just researching it.
I just didn't mind making someone very uncomfortable at the fact a car with 100hp less put a bumper on him and kept him there. Especially not one driving like a dick and acting like a dick, even after I kept composure.

On my colecovision in HD. Not too shabby, right? LMAO
I'm hoping to go with a heads cam setup within the next year. As it sits right now, I'm just enjoying my DD. A nice 100 shot wouldn't be a bad idea, either. LOL
