Probably it will be a good car for you to have Justin !! when ever you start getting too much attention from the highway patrol because of the AMG, ~ get on their most wanted list, you can drive the 240 for a while, they would not believe you are the same person !! If stopped & questioned, just say they are thinking of your twin brother who just left town.

Don't do that! When you add "drag" to the dyno it will spin the engine BACKWARDS!

I wonder if it even has the power to overcome the dyno rollers.... Only one way to find out!

Hey, finally! Somebody who is not convinced that young teenagers are dangerous in powerful cars!!.

I mean, why would anybody think that a young kid in a sports car, or a muscle car, or just a powerful car, would be dangerous. We think everything through thoroughly, and don't do anything dumb or stupid!

Just need to have respect for the power and the capabilities that the car has. When your young - its hard. I have been there, and when you have a million billion horsepower, its hard to stop the testosterone and the adrenaline! But - as I am sure you know, you pass that phase...

I have put a few track days under my belt in the E55, and am still nervous in certain situations. The E55 is an absolute monster. Look at the throttle wrong, and it will bite hard!

Question - exactly how old are you?

Come on down to Sacramento and they are yours for 24 hours... Assuming you have a drivers license.

Yeah, I really wish! However, it would be best for me to avoid it, even though there is no way for me to get there soon. I wouldn't be able to do it even if I could get down there, mostly because if I did end up wrecking it, I would feel so bad, I would have a hard time living with myself. However, thank you very, very much for the offer. Next time you are in or around Fairbanks, Alaska, look me up, then you can drive Bonnie, my '83 300D-turbo. A really nice car but not even quite the luxury of your AMG, and not even close to the performance. Again, thank you very much for the offer. But I have to make the smarter choice, even though I would really love it.


Though, if I ever am near Sacramento, I'd love to go for a ride.

That is a nice car too. However, no offense, I would rather a 2012 S65 AMG, or a 2012 SLS AMG. However, I dont have $215,000, or $205,000. *****SIGH*****

It is commendable that Iwrock has not complained but really, calling names is not funny, no matter how many smileys you put behind it.
