I drove my 16 valve to the race not expecting the karma flux to affect the race results, but there were Mika and David on the podium, and then there was me, driving home in the Benz sure everyone was longingly watching as I left them behind.
I saw the SL55 pace the historic F1 parade at Indy and could not believe that it walked away from some of the older cars. Around the banked turn on the speedway, you could see the car was oversteering just slightly, at 140mph. The driver worked that car over and made it look like a Sunday drive. The exhaust note I also heard before I even saw the car, and it did sound like an old Vette with sidepipes. No longer the bluehair chariot, now the fantasy car that the original 300SL was in the 50's.
