I am no Mercedes expert, but isn't that red car a gullwing?

don ricardo?? hmmm...maybe. the man was awesome. he failed in his mission. i think his motor blew up. but he was my hero. i loved how his entire team was retired, rich, old guys. i dream of going hard like that, when i reach my golden years.

OMG,I love those cars. Matching luggage to boot. In 1978 I tried to buy a 190SL in Santa Monica in my Mom's apartment complex garage. It had an inch of dirt on it and the top had been down for a decade. Their son had owned it and died in Viet Nam. They weren't going to sell. I should have just stole it in the dead of night. J/K.

A friend of mine's dad has a gullwing...its a '55, original and unrestored (save a repaint) in exceptional condition. I am lucky to have been able to drive it once. I must say it drove better than any car built in the fifties has a right to. That thing has a steel trellis style space-frame! Really a race car for the street. It also has straight cut gears in the trans which made for very cool noises in the cockpit.
