Good post Kurt... (re: silly question)
FWIW, none of those shots of Erik are "chopped"... look 'em up...
For a MO, he's been very fortunate to not only have access to MANY (and I DO mean MANY) cars the rest of us only DREAM about, but he's had the opportunity to give them the ol' what for !!!
Personally, I think we ought to compare the original Mercedes 300SL to the McLaren Mercedes SLR...
...but that would be on a different board wouldn't it...?
(Did THAT stir the pot a bit ???
