Not all Maybach owners are chavs ,heres a shot of my mate Dan Smith racing his "silver bullet" 6.3 against a Maybach 57..[8D][8D]owned by Donald Trump.The 6.3 won.sub 13 second 1/4 mile times.[:0][:0][:0]
Now this is a Maybach owner who deserves a medal. Most are using it for some business trips and are too much aware of the value. If you can afford a car like this drive like ordinary people drive it. Driving it like this is even better.
The guy in the 6.3 must still be buzzing [:D]
One of the best Mercedes ever made. And still lots of fune in these days (if you can afford it)

RE: Culture Clash

You must of heard of Donald Trump,he has building in New York called the Trump tower and a TV show called "The Apprentice",yeah it was really him!,and Dan,in the Silver 6.3 has several of them,He had just driven across the US with a mate of mine from Brisbane (who has 4 6.3's and a 600 among other mercs) .Dans 6.3's are restored to the Max with one particular car,which is nicknamed the "gren hornet' having computerised fuel injection,Nitrous,modified back end etc etc ,but he has yet to race it this year.
It was only chance that Trump and Dan lined together up the track,Dan just felt the need for speed and Donald? who knows!.
Oh,and you don't have to well off financially to own these 6.3's ,just friggen crazy!![:D][:D][:D]

RE: Culture Clash

Re: Fuel prices -- I'm waiting for the high prices to force even the slightest change in driving habits where I live. The Escalades, Expeditions, and Yukon XLs which infest Northern Virginia are still driven in classic SUV style: when confronted with a curve or freeway ramp, slow almost to a stop. Then, having navigated said curve at a crawl, mash the accelerator as hard as you can. At a traffic light, mash the accelerator whatever color the light is [;)]

RE: Culture Clash

To our overseas friends: That's right, the SUV has merely amplified the traditional Yank driving style. And, of course, add: constant chattering on the mobile phone.
