So I go with a friend to a high end dealership in South Florida to help him get a car. We show up and he immediately likes a used CL600. The owner walks over and says "that's a top of the line CL600 Sport." I could clearly see it doesn't have the sport package . However the guy was insistent. Finally he asks to bet me. We shake hands on a $1000.00 bet . After we call a Mercedes dealer and give them the vin, they confirm that I am right. He tells me to come by after the weekend and they will print a check. I believe he will keep his word because I have a lot of friends that buy cars from him and he seems genuinely ready to bite the bullet.

Pretty funny, my friend didn't buy the car (he found one with the Lorinser package somewhere else), but I walked away making money. I just can't seem to stop laughing <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />
After all the ridiculous amounts I've lost on cars in depreciation through the years, this feels like a great victory. I actually made money from my vehicular addiction. <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
Obviously drinks are on me tonight!
