"Bad boys, bad boys - whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you." In New Zealand, a local businessman by the name of John Rae recently made headlines when in a vain attempt to impress his wife and mother- in-law, he performed a wicked burnout in his shiny new CLS 55 AMG. Unfortunately for John, his heroic stunt was witnessed by local law enforcement, and forty-five minutes later, police pulled him over. To add to his unfortunate series of events, police then notified John his CLS 55 was being impounded, citing he violated recently passed "boy racer legislation," which apparently prohibits performing treacherous acts of insanity to impress your significant other. Here's what John had to say about the incident: "I lost traction." Yeah right John, like we've never heard that one before. I'm not from New Zealand, so I don't want to speak for the entire population, but I'm sure everyone is sleeping a little sounder now that Johnny "The Rocket" Rae isn't prowling the streets any more
CLS comes with traction control standard. He would have had to have purposely switched it off in order to do a burnout.
Yeah well the guy's got some serious issues, IMHO, considering the individuals he was trying to impress. I mean, his wife and mother-in-law? Nope.......girlfriend or potential girlfriend, maybe.......
