507 hp? Hell yeah! Amanda says this is completely unnecessary; I disagree. I WILL own one of these when I am an O-2, or even an O-1!!

Nothing like an old Mercedes. Safest car going.
I have owned this 1991 560SEC AMG since the mid '90's when I bought it near new. It was the top of the line model and I wanted the last year of it. It once belonged to the owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel, who I spole to, his wife made him get rid of it, saying it was "too flashy for Beverly Hills and I want a new BMW!" But he got to keep his Porsche 911 though.
I am keeping the Mercedes mostly as a seldom used toy now, though a year ago I drove it 40,000 miles.
A couple of times I had it up to 152 mph or so, but at that speed my foot was not to the floor yet. They are engineered to cruise at their top speed all day for the Autobahns, that have no speed limits in most places.
The older ones like this one are engineered to a "cost no object" baseline and their prices reflect it. MSRP on mine in 1991 was $84,000 - but mine still looks and drives as new. They demand care, and that is not cheap, but in return, will last forever. Examples with over 900,000 miles on them exist.Last edited by EHJ710; 08-03-2010, 04:35 PM.sigpic2009 Grand Marquis LS "Ultimate Edition" Toreador Red Metallic, 40% tint, CVPI type dual exhaust, Marauder front and rear sways, 29k (traded in, to dealer, 4/3/11)

However, I'm more completely sexual about the current BMW M3 (two door), to be honest.

Sweet Benz, EHJ!!!
My neighbor had an '81 240D 5 speed with 1700 miles on it. 1700. It was slow, but the car was so perfect it was insane. It was a burnt red color over saddle tan leather.
It burned to the ground in 2001, which was the real shame.
I prefer the CL, like TOTCG mentioned, but there are other things in line in front of one of those, if I was looking to spend $42,000+.

I guess, if I had too, I could drive an AMG
I was thinking of an old 240d for the better half, she'd like it (well the looks anyway, prob not the smelly clattering lol), and it's a great end of the world vehicle - old diesels run after an EMP iirc.
