^^^Yeah, but you won't be one forever though.

Ok, if I decide to off mine, you can have the first shot at it. It's fully restored, has FGS, eibach, Remus, the 8 hole 140 wheels, and plenty of nice euro things on it.

And complete books and records and all history to April 1992. And it will do 148 mph. I know it because I did.

The secs are lovely cars.

Fast comfortable and surprisingly nimble.

Great looking too.

You just have to pull a small trailer behind the car for carrying enough cash to buy gas for it!

Yeah, buddy! Now I have to find some cool-looking, pimpilicious-looking wheels like you have on your SEC!

Thanks for your enthusisam, everybody. The only thing more fun about getting a car like this, is putting it on the forum.

Nice car!

You need to get a set of AMG's for it and it will be complete.

Maybe I can talk John out of something from his tire & wheel warehouse. First, I've got to get it through emissions and safety inspections and get some tags for it.

Then I can get started pimping that bad boy out.

I will be glad to welcome you to the benzworld W126, I am a Moderator there.
Don't get pulled to the dark side. Next thing you'll be putting on a set of chrome wheel well arches. It's the first step, like saying I can quit these cigs any time I want....

I know. I must be watched constantly, lest I get myself into all sorts of mischief!

Floor it and hold, at 80 mph, and don't let up till you are at 145 mph.

Don't worry, the cars are engineered to run at that speed all day. Just remember you can't outrun Bell, Motorola and Fido!!!
