Ten years from now I would be sorely tempted to buy a used, supercharged AMG. What scares me to death is the DIY factor. I'm not sure if the electronics on those cars will last 20+ years, for starters. (They are drive by wire AND brake by wire, btw!) And even if we can diagnose them, I bet the cost of parts could be insane, especially if we have to buy new since good used stuff may not be available. Shoot, my '94 M119 engine is borderline when it comes to DIY stuff on the engine... not easy nor cheap. (The rest of the chassis is pretty simple to deal with, thankfully.)

But the thought of a station wagon with E200 Diesel badges, capable of sub-4-second 0-60 runs, 12's in the quarter mile at 110+, would be a SERIOUS temptation. I'd spend half my free time finding unsuspecting Evos, 911's, and C6 Vettes to stomp... [evil grin]
