Well, there i am sitting at the light and this large black m-b pulls up next to me and my lady friend. We are talking, but find ourselves drowned out by the loud techno music comming from the new (beverly hills paper dealer plate) mercedes benz e500 sedan.
The two young men driving the car have their windows down, and immedeately start eyeing the marauder. They kinda rev it a little. And before i get ready, the light turns green!
I turn overdrive off, and floor it. The windows are down, the air conditioning is blasting, and my tunes are on. Its a pretty close race, our engines winding up nicely. I hear his car, but it is drowned out by the magic sound of the american v-8. As soon as my car shifts into second, my car leaps ahead!
I continue to gain ground on him. Every time my car shifts i am pushed back into my seat thanks to that noticible shift pattern of dennis'.
The marauder is now at least a car and a half ahead of him with open road ahead. We are now up to about 70 and i am still ahead. He cant gain any ground and i am pulling still. Nice and hard!
Up ahead, i see a cop on a traffic stop, so i look behind me and check the m-b. After verifying he is way behind me, i tap my brakes to let him know whos the boss and slow down for the cops.
He dosent get the hint and keeps going! Right past the cops and has to violently swerve to change lanes around a slower car. I keep it backed off and pass the cops.
The total race was about four or five blocks. I caught up to him at the light, and they complement me. They turn down the radio and ask me what i have in it.. I tell them its the dohc 4.6 they act like they know whats up, but i get the impression its just little rich kids in daddys new car. They tell me they have a "500" And i never saw the badging because i never saw the rear of their car.
But they turn left and i get a look at the beverly hills plate, and the badging.
I had a nice grin from ear to ear. My friend just laughed at the rich kids...
Score another one for the marauder. Man do i want that supercharger!!!! Is there anybody out there with about 7+g for a nice guy like me???
