An ML430?? What *is* it with these guys??
So, I'm taking the baby-sitter home, about 10 PM 2nite. Traveling on an inner-city 4 lane, to go to a major 4-lane highway.
This silver ML430 challenges me at the light.
I'm with the 14yr. old sitter, and tryin' to be cool. He blasts away at the light, cuts in front of me, then slows down.
I slowly move to the left lane, and he gets bogged down in traffic.
I see him weaving in and out, to catch up. This is a 40MPH inner city 4 lane, mind you. I'm doin' 45 or so, as is traffic.
We get to the left turn lane, to go onto the highway, he's right on my bumper all the way. I punch it on the on-ramp, hitting 90+ at the end, and move to the left lane, slowing to like 75-80.
He blows by me, winding it out, must have been doin' 120. Gets in front of me again, and slows to 75.
At this time, the baby-sitter is dead quiet, so I take the next off-ramp, and leave him to ponder what happened.
Maybe if I were alone, I would have run him a bit, but what gives??
A Mercedes SUV??
OK, he was movin', but was he just tryin' to say, "Yea, I got this big-*** SUV, but is still a Mercedes ,and I'm gonna show ya."
Near as I can figure.

yeah had same problem with ML430 awhile back.....did even worse than that
I got so mad I grabbed my bat and jumped out at the lights.....he left... typical SUv insanity....was drivin down the road not even speedin...he cut me off...revved...tried the fake sideswipe.... usual crap....got me pretty steamed....It was funny that it was being driven with a 40ish guy and his buddy.....I guess they didnt expect me to rush em after all that stuff...Im usually pretty mellow but dont like being bugged...never saw him again

Are you nuts? Diving 90 with some one else's 14 yr old daughter? Lighten up hot shot
If that was my kid you were hot roddin' with I'd have your hide. Easy to see where teens think it is okay to drive unsafely when they are alone.
