well, no rust bubbles. ( but we are in cali)

what was amazing was the handling; much improved from the s class of mid '80's. really grips the road.

but yes, the maintenance costs are prohibitive - except for my friend, who's a millionaire.

p.s. and yes, the power, even just for around town. it was fun, for a night.
