First kill with GL550 - 09-23-2007, 01:50 AM

I posted this on MBWorld today and thought you guys would like to read my experience with a Toyota SUV who challenged me.

Well it had to happen. Someone wanted to challenge me from the STOP signs which are at every corner in Summerlin (suburb of LV.) He implied he could beat me by digging out from our first parallel side by side. At the next corner he waited and I knew he wanted to play. I don't know what he was driving except it was a big SUV and made by Toyota. Well I gave him the intersection lead and then floored it...went by him like the wind! (BTW...I had the A/C off and the sunroof cracked since it is only 73 here today.) I didn't wait for him at the next stop sign and never saw him again except in my rear view mirror...all of a sudden he was a slow driver.

I don't usually do that kind of thing but I had to road test this Beast so I can report to the forum any problems...

This thing is scary, especially with the A/C off....

Jack, it really doesn't matter what SUV he was driving from Toyota. They don't have anything that can stand up to the GL550 at the moment, it was probably a Land Crusier or Sequoia. They think they can run with the big GL double 5 0 , but Nien or is it Nein?!
