Congrats, Greg! I've had my '89 560SL ever since 12/24/02, but thanks to that Michigan reality known as Winter Storage, you've got more done than I do.

That engine and suspension are both amazing. Doesn't feel as quick off the line as my Saab 9-5 V6 does, but entering the freeway you're somehow up to 80 and it's still accelerating just the way it was at 40. I've driven mostly other Euro iron, but haven't had anything that has the same feel. Speed doesn't matter; it doesn't get lighter, or twitchier, or anything but faster!
