Talking being a bad boy...

Got mixed up with a brand-new Mercedes CLK today. He was behind me when I jumped out and nailed it, just trying to move up in traffic you know. Suddenly my mirror was full of three-pointed star and a big grin behind the wheel. Next turn he jumped out and got around me, and my passenger yelled "Get him!" Who am I to argue? So we both got on it and much to my surprise (a CLK after all) we were dead-even.

It was only on slowing down that I saw the AMG badge. That sucker is fast. Big wave from both of us, great way to wrap up lunch.



...here, let me turn it on for ya

oops, I goofed on the alphabet soup. This was an SLK 55 AMG. You know, the 2-seater "cute" car. Like I said, the sucker was faaaast. I was impressed.
