Default Funny Race Story

So, I was at a red light next to a new Mercedes SL350. Early in the morning so I have my FSport in Eco Mode. Guy and his passenger start pointing at my car, looking like they wanted to race. I put the car in Sport + mode toasted him, beat him by a couple car lengths. We get to the next light and he tells me to roll my window down. I was figuring he was going to say good race, nice car, etc etc. But he yells "Buy a real car, I could buy 5 of those!" . I was truly speechless because he just got destroyed, and honestly that car is a total waste of money piece of junk. I could understand if he was driving a Ferrari! #MidLifeCrisis

I believe it was a CLK350 that you're referring to as the CL350s are not available in the US.
The specs are very similar to the IS350 however.

Some people just don't have any respect and can't accept the lost. If you see him again, you should tell him to buy a "real" car since he can buy 5 of those.

What a ***** lol.

Never heard of a SL350 so I looked up the info on it. Who would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a NA V6? Don't understand the point of buying this car when there are better cars out there for better prices :/. Someone explain?

Well yeah.. but I was thinking with that kind of money you could buy a car that's just as nice but with more power lol. Doesn't seem like the old man got his money's worth.

Expensive is relative. Many would think of Lexus as an "expensive" car.

No, expensive isn't relative. And lexus is an expensive car. Majority of this forums population just doesn't understand it because, they either lease these expensive cars and or do not understand the concept of financing. People who own a lexus, know full well it is an expensive car, just as any owner of an expensive luxury car.
