Never seen an unmarked Mercedes cop car.

Hard not to be a little intimidated by a Mercedes, but unless it's an AMG SL 65, don't be!

Probably not the first unintelligent thing you have done. I see you mentioned a wife. We have all been there in one form or another. Sometimes I think life is defined by how many stupid moments we survive.

Yea, it was stupid.

Next time stretch the gears out, you'll take him.

at 100, you should still have been banging 5th gear.

I've seen a Mercedes cop car. Probably confiscated from some poor soul.

They use it to bait others into racing. A friend with a Rousch Mustang was just cruising home one day, when a black mercedes kept tailgating, then passing, then slowing. He swears he was just trying to get away from the Dude, but it turned out to be a Cop Mobile. Gave him 3 tickets.

He got a lawyer, went to court, and had the charges dropped. Just a little too close to entrapment for the Judge.
