Was this anyone in Miami?

Not much detail to this one. I just had to ask what is up with these CL type-s people. I've had a a lot of them try to get me to race them, but i don't, im not really into street racing & i try to be a safe driver Well, yesterday my wife and i are driving around doing some errands for the house & this one guy was pissing me off, he was on my ass, driving like a maniac, windows down, music blasting & he pulls up next to me at the light. I knew he was going to punch it off the line as soon as the light turned green, so i nudged my gears into first and waited, right when the light turned green he punched it & so did i, man o man did i waste him, i easily got like 5 car lengths on him in seconds. When i saw him way back in my rearview i slowed down because of the upcoming red light, so what does he do? He accelerates with all the might of his honda and cuts me off to get first in line at the light, what an idiot, but he got even more pissed when he looked in his rearview mirror & saw my wife and i laughing at him. The light turned green and he took off again like a mad man, i just went on my merry way. Poor fellow, he really thought that his Type -S was capable of taking on my AMG. They have tried this with me dozens of times, but i never bite. I wonder what the hell is wrong with them. Is it only here, or have any of you encountered this type of situation?
Whoever this was is giving a bad name to the Acura-CL community.

If you ask me, the AMG guy doing the writing is the one hurting his kind. Does he really think ALL CL drivers act this way? How can people be so stereotypically shallow?

At least he has a nice ride to boost his insecurities.

I dont think he said all CL drivers act this way. As he wrote, in his experience he's gotten many CLs that want to race him, so he's asking if anyone else has noticed this. Maybe he is generalizing a bit, i dunno. Stereotyping is everywhere and even on this forum, you see "BMW drivers suck" or "XXXXX drivers suck". The fact is @sshole drivers drive all different types of cars.

Since when did only cls race and cut people off, and why does this guy with the mercedes have to belittle the acura to make him feel better. Oh yea thats why he bout a mercedes my fault. Oh and yea he said i dont race, but then said he raced him. Could he make himself sound any more stupid?????

yea, some of those guys on mbworld can be a bit much...they only tend to respect exotics like porsches, vipers, ferraris, etc.

Of course when these merc guys want to race the exotics, those guys are cocky too...until they hear that a SL55 beat a yellow 360 Spyder on Wilshire Blvd. in LA by 1 car.
