[89911]

A local Mercedes dealer had a Black 97 Carrera Widebody today that I took for a ride, (I'm off today, bored, and why not, I always wanted to drive one. I didn't tell the salesman the chances of me buying one are about as good as it being 90 degrees tommorow!). While the Carrera on the dash had the "S' following it, the rear badge had no indication it was an S. I have seen these on other cars though. Why? The car was definetly a turbo body with big black calipers and 18" 225 and 265 wheels. As far as driving impressions, the car was running funny. Very rich and when you trounced the gas it bogged down. They said they were going to run it through there service department. Lots of low end torque. Needed lowered. Black on black, which wouldn't be my first choice. I don't know, didn't make me want to hand over the keys of my 89 any time soon.
