I was driving home from school today, and as usual, I was scanning the road for Mercedes. I was driving in stop and go trafic and saw a dark green w124 in front of me. At first glance it appeared to be a normal Benz, but I began to look a little bit closer. What first caught my eye was an AMG badge tagged on the left side of it's trunk. This raised my suspicion and I noticed the duck tailed hood. I thought to myself, could this really be a Hammer?! The rear wheels were enormous and had AMG chrommies on it. I kept on weaving in and out of traffic to get a closer look at it (I was two cars behind it on a one lane road). As I pulled next to the driver who was signaling to turn left, I motioned for him to roll down his window. He was a well dressed business man, and I asked him if it was a Hammer. He said it was, and I asked him where he got it from (stupid question, but I was still in shock). He replied, "Germany", while the cars behind me started to honk. I told him it was beautiful and sped off. I think it was a true Hammer, but I kept on questioning the validity of the car because very few Hammers were produced (I read in a benzsport.com thread a few days ago that there were somewhere around 13 produced). The only thing that made me think it wasn't a true hammer was the blacked out rear tail lenses (these could have been changed from the OEM), and the side "vents" that looked like those of a w124 late model diesel or the new SL. Let me know what you guys think: was it a real hammer or not?

Oh, I am still kicking myself for not giving him the Mercedes Shop address!!! Oh well.
