Hang man is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long. Few Silver Arrows tug at my heart strings with such ardor as the noble Fintail. I’ll even be so bold as to say I would gladly pass up a 300 SL for my very own Heckflosse. Where as the owner of [...] Ask yourself, "Self, can I really go wrong for that kind of money?" As mainstream America knows, Mercedes-Benz ownership is a privilege reserved for the well-off (plus yours truly), and it’s impossible to pick up a complete, titled one for under four figures, right?

What they didn’t envision was the all-wheel drive competition from Audi and Lancia, which dominated the class. Realizing the error of their ways, Benz took their little Autobahner, with its Cosworth-modded mill, and attacked the DTM [...] This past weekend, we took a trek to the local all-furrin’ pick-your-part to see what the haps were, and came across this interesting beast.
