Default Raced a G55 AMG..

Yesterday on the highway I came across a G55 that flew up on my *** then tried to pass me. I felt like I didn’t want him to pass me so I floored it, I was going about 65-70mph and we both ran side by side to about 100mph then I stopped. Now my truck is not that fast but I ran dead even with a G55 AMG.

Here is what a G55 AMG is......

Nice job. I raced one at the track when I was running low 13s. Guy pulls up next to me in the staging lanes with his buddy in the passengers seat and asked if I wanted to race. I played dumb and said sure. I listened to him run his mouth to his passenger for about 15 minutes. He kept telling him how he was gonna hand me my ***. I beat him by a full second and trapped about 12 mph faster. Funny thing, he never ran the rest of the day.

Hmmm, I raced an AMG Wagon http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/rev...e55-amg-wagon/ and he handed me my ***. A stock car and a freaking station wagon to boot!
