So I had a run-in with a Maybach...
So what happened? From a dig to ~80, i got him
Would have been a completely different story if we were on the highway or something. And yes, he was racing. How do I know? He rolled down his friggin window and told me "It's tome to race, yes?". 600+hp doesn't mean crap when you have to move 3-tons of dead weight from a stop .
We did pull over and chat for awhile, i got to poke around the car.... my God is that thing nice to sit in. He was shouffering some people to a wedding earlier and was returning it to the garage the owner has. He showed me the garage too... had several vintage and restored RR's, several old Mercedes, old old old Morgan, 2 67 Corvette 427s (1 coupe and 1 covertible), a newer M5 and a few other cars. Cool guy nonetheless.
Figure i'd share what i did lastnight while driving around wasing gas... what are the chances i'll get to do that again?

I'd say ~2 cars... it was enough for me to safely get in front of him because my lane went to a turn only a little way up.
I've seen several of them here. Drive around Atlanta and you'll see all kinda six-figure cars.
