That got the straight 6 or the V8? Old neighbor had a 540 wagon, it was pimp! Cool ride either way.

Don't you have to be a liberal college professor to own one of those?

We have a C43 station wagon that is a blast to drive (a C63 would be an even bigger blast). No badges and a big surprise to whoever thinks he needs to ride your ass. If only it weren't for the rust issues and wildlife's attraction to committing suicide by C43.
It is a great car to have around for hauling shit and fun as heck. And it looks better as a station wagon vs the sedan.

I love the autobahn.

And I also love sleeper vehicles. My buddy has a twin turbo Grand Cherokee SUV putting out 750 ponies. He's gotten a few surprised looks.

It is a very satisfying feeling when you're driving the speed limit and 1 lane becomes 2, no speed limit, they have been on your ass all that time and are already preparing to pass, then are sitting in the left lane, with no vehicle left to pass because it is long gone.
The Brabus Smart is a nice little sleeper too. Not the ultimate sports car and not built for high speeds on windy days, but also good for surprises.

Did 152 mph in a VW Passat Wagon on teh A4 a few years back. When we shipped the car here to the US, you had to watch your speed...constantly.

I know, right!

Seeing the station wagons in Germany gave the respect I have. It was crazy funny the first coupla times then I got used to it and would even look for them coming up behind.

Also, there's a lot of cars the US won't import. Why? Who fukkin' knows really. A coupla reasons are safety and emissions. It's a car which means it's mechanical which means it can be changed. Duhhhh.

The Brabus Smart Car 77Babe mentioned is crazy but some folks would buy it.
