JimD Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Over the course of about 200 miles (on I-75) I had some fun bird-dogging an absolutely gorgeous silver Mercedes coupe. About 45 miles of that was in northern Tennessee with some hills and sweeping curves (and slower truck traffic). He got so used to me being the next car behind him that when we were passing vehicles, he would wait for me to clear before he moved back to the right hand lane. I pulled alongside several times to appreciate the lines and observe how the Mercedes suspension handled the road surface. That earned me a thumbs up from the driver. It was a fun 2.5 hours that might have been more interesting at 2:00AM. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 The IS a beautiful looking car I agree. I recall the first time I saw one in a Marriott parking lot, I circled it for about 5 minutes looking at it from all angles... http://www.mbusa.com/models/gallery/index....odelCode=SL550R Engine 5,461-cc DOHC 32-valve V-8.

JimD Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Shared the road for about 20 seconds with a CTS-V this afternoon. He did wave as he motored on past me. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
