Default Smoked a C230 Kompressor today!!!

Hey guys, coming home today after school, a C230 Kompressor cutted me off and sped up. Luckily he ended up at the stoplight where I was headed. I wasn't even going to mess with him, but I got pretty ____ed off when the cutted me off, because he almost clipped my car. I had my car ready and lauched at about 1800 rpm right when the light turned green. I took him from the line and got ahead about a car length. I was ahead until the next stop light. I was surprised that my car took an C230 mercedes with a supercharger. The guy was pretty upset and I just let him pass me on the next green light. Cant wait till the vortex comes out for this car, the tc will definitly do some damange!!! Hahahahahaha

So basically you blasted away at a light and once he had warning and could've competed, you just let him go... Nice kill.

as a side note here...

Your actions upon being "cutted" off were pretty much uncalled for.
Why bust your ego on someone who may or may not have even meant to do that?

Here's what the dictionary thinks of the word : CUTTED

Hmm. I looked up the numbers also. With it having that much more power even being about 300 lbs heavier. I still think the c230 should be putting up better times.

Let's see... an attempted translation

Good Job. To all those who speak negatively about regular people driving in their cars on the road with you, refrain your negativity. With all respect, you may consider yourself that driver in which you mock. It's true, a vehicle such as the Kompressor may out perform your vehicle, but if a trained driving specialist is behind the wheel the outcome might be significantly differant.



My personal involvement with the "cluck cluck, bawk bawk" language has paid off!
