The Autovista script from the Ferrari Testa Rossa:
Wicked car, I'll be keeping an eye out for one second hand to replace the CLK55. My fiance keeps hounding me about a more practical car. So I'll be a smartass about it ;)
Oh the mechanicalragedeath of an AMG V8. I might have to uncork the fittyfive on my way home today.
This absolutely has to make the cut. From the factory they were mere shadows of themselves.
Play on playa,
That monstrosity was the worse thing I've ever done to my body.
It's certainly more masculine than the later CLK's, hence why I focused on that chassis. I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Yes, a 2001 CLK55 I got from a broker.
As a 26 year old with an AMG Benz, I hate it when people assume I didn't work for it. That it was just Daddy's hand me down. Nope. I worked hard, bought used, and fix it myself. If anyone ever threatened me, or my car I would strike him down with all the fury I can muster. Nothing makes my blood boil like the…

It took about a year of owning the car to shake the feeling that I might end up that way. It's been bliss ever since. I should crack open hte door panels, and see what's inside.
Same here, that car could have burned me badly, but I'm young, and thick skulled.
If buying from a broke: 'Do you have the title in hand?'
Damn.
The thought of a barn find gullwing 300SL sends my heart aflutter. Alas it probably will never be. :(
Reading this in Clarkson's voice made me lol. Loudly.
Added to my Kindle reading list.
Wicked cool guy, his stubborn refusal to attempt to appear P.C. for any reason whatsoever is all too refreshing. He gets my vote for simply walking the walk.
Commence removing frame members until it falls to pieces. Then put that last one back in. Race.
Aww snap, beat me by two minutes. But I totally agree.
