Damn! Geeto would chime in, but that black '80s gangsta is a Mercedes Benz 560SEC...can't tell if it's a special edition one, outside of the body kit. Is the interior super-dirty on account of the rear quarter window being open? I was "given" a car in college - Dodge 400 convertible - that was sitting in an old garage in Cleveland. Woman's father owned it and he died...sat for years and they were selling the house. It was super dusty and I would've taken it and fixed it up if it wasn't for the fact that HE LEFT A WINDOW OPEN and the inside was the filthiest nest of rodents ever. I couldn't even stomach sitting in it. Hoping that Mercedes is in better condition...

 

That pre-war baby Mercedes I'm not too sure about. Interesting turn-signal location on the fenders!

 

My neighbor has a Nash Metropolitan. Crazy how small they are in person.

Wow. From a recent auction listing:

 

Introduced in 1990, the 560SEC AMG was perhaps the most fabled of the “pre-merger” upgraded Mercedes-Benz automobiles. The car was powered with a 6.0-liter engine, producing twice the torque of the original 5.6-liter Mercedes-Benz engine.

 

Experts believe that only 50 or so of these pre-merger 560s exist — and one is on offer here. On file is paperwork from Japan proving its low mileage, and a full service in the U.K. in 2016.

 

This car, Lot 122, sold for $338,972, including buyer’s premium, on February 6, 2019, in Paris, FRA, as part of RM Sotheby’s Youngtimer Collection

Why does this one look to have some sort of extra splitter on the front bumper? Interesting

[cstmg8]

The 560 has a cool 90's look to it. I was surprised at the flares and width of the rear tires. Sounds like it would be a fun little car.

Don’t get too excited, that’s a 380 SEC. I know the family that owns it. They are in the business of buying old Mercedes and fixing them up. They have multiple warehouses full of these old MB.

Saw a C8 on 270 today. It looks a LOT better on the road than in pictures. All the pictures I've seen make it look kind of oddly proportioned. But on the road it looked really good. I like it a lot more now.

Ran down to Lakeland yesterday for the Winter Autofest show and auction event sponsored by Carlisle events. The theme of the show was mainly Corvettes, Mustangs and Mopars so there were TONS of those to view. I'll post up some of the pics I took on the CR FB page.

Lots of everything you see on the road every day at a car show. Neat.

I went to C&C last weekend that was huge(300+cars), because the weather was amazing.

This one is a guy that owns a mortgage company next door to where I work. This is his beater when the weathers bad.

Down here, yeah pretty much. People drive their shit year round in Florida. I didn't realize the thread was "What did you see today only on the road while you were driving?"

No, I just mean if I go to a car show and it's a bunch of stock, common, cars it's not really all that exciting. I just call a bunch of Mustangs, Corvettes, and MOPARs a parking lot.

[TimTaylor751647545500]

Oh, d'oh! Yeah, looking at stock hellcats is kinda boring to me as well.

I saw a Tesla model Y yesterday on fishinger road. Only see from behind because my mighty 4runner only has so much grunt. Look alright, but $55k May be not especially with. Gas under $2
