Does your AMG induce hatred on the road?

[BenzedUP]

I get thumbs up most of the time, the odd w*nker sign but that's my fault

De-badged mine so no worries. It's quite a sleeper if I do get tailgated. Kickdown usually takes care of them.

I re-badged mine - it does 200mph standing still now .

I'm probably three pages late, since this lost the plot, but nothing bad in my C63. People just seem to like the noise and/or looks of it. It draws people's attention when parked up, guys and girls alike but then again the white/Edition 125 black bits work quite well at distinguishing it to other Merc's.

Not many people tend to try and race or push me on. I've had a few S5's (battle of the V8's?) try but have given a nod after they realise which one has more legs. Fiesta's, VXR's and Subaru's are always keen but are no drama generally, just keen to try it on and hear some noise.

Someone said that you'd buy an AMG or ///M because you couldn't justify a proper sports car aka Porsche 911. I don't tend to agree as I chose mine over the C4S I was looking at, for the fact it was V8, a newer car for less cash and less troublesome generally. Heart wanted a GTR or 997.2 Turbo for the sheer brutal tuning potential but, a good one of each would have cost considerably more and financially, I couldn't justify it with my other plans.

I'm happy with my choice of weekend car as I find it more than thrilling enough to make the drives feel special.

The one in the "Ouch" thread bears this out.

Indeed, but I tend not to park it front end into a post

 

[smillion]

when I first arrived on MB Club I felt like an outsider.....little clicks of members barracking from the stands etc but as I've watched and learned the past 12 months it really is pretty straight forward to understand how things work.

Anyone with an AMG is going to take Flak off a few of those members that don't.

Anyone that shouts from the Hilltops that their car is the loudest on the Block may as well duck for cover

Anyone that speeds (Over 71mph) will take a cucumber up the **** off those that don't

Anyone with a Personal Number Plate will create offence to those that don't

and so on.........

Guess what?

Who gives a $hit what other Members think, post what you like, comment how you like (The Mods will soon edit if out of turn) but more importantly, enjoy

There are some great people on here and I've met a fair few so hopefully it doesn't deter from sticking around

Nicely put. There are some long standing members here that perpetuate all of the above , and come across very badly to newer forum members. If only they realised or cared......

Even after many years here it's very easy to get drawn in and wound up....mainly for the reasons you outline....

My (E46)M3 Carbon metallic black with dark red interior and Split rims was always being pulled by the rozzers. The public thought I was the local drug dealer!
My Maserati Granturismo had the biggest reaction by far. It was as if I had blue lights on - in the outside lane - almost everyone pulled over when I came up behind them. Everyone loved the looks of the GT.
I am in the process of buying an SL55 this week and even the mechanics from the garage across the road from the showroom said it was a drug dealers car???

My neighbour has a Boxster and he told me that several weeks ago - a woman crossing the road in front of his parked car - spat at the car! He quotes that he is very often refused entry out of a side road because its a Porsche?

Fingers crossed I hope the SL fairs better...........anyone for some E's????

E's are good E's are good....
I would think the smallest gap in traffic is enough to get the 55 in to the flow of traffic!

Masser FTW

I have access to a Scuderia and a Maserati Granturismo both in Yellow.
Both are show stoppers on the road especially the motorway everything just moves aside for you.

Well on the off chance that the owner of a 13 plate C63 that was on the A565 this morning around 8am is on this forum, I just want to say you really do need to get to Specsavers.

The space you decided to take by means of a pi$$ poor undertake was genuinely not a space. I know processing special awareness requires some degree of intellect but it seems you are severely lacking.

It's good to know you were that riled you felt you had to do a further undertake in a left turn only lane further up the road, PML.

Only a matter if time fella before you wrap your beloved AMG around a lamppost.

ATB to you fella just make sure when you do you're not taking any other cars off the road with you.

Do you honestly think that driver is likely to ever read your thoughts on their Driving?

Only if he/she had special awareness.

That's a very good point, I'm generously and in all likelihood erroneously assuming he can read.

 

[MDC250]

They were most definitely "special", so there is a chance.
