Brother-in-Law has a garage and he picked up this beauty this fall. It's for sale but he wants to keep it until next spring and because I got space in my garage since I sold my old american steed, I've offered to give it shelter.

1999 Mercedes C43 AMG. It's only got 68000 miles on it and is damn near perfect. This car has so much power and pull it's unbelievable. We're talking M5 territory. The only thing I can compare to it as far as being glued to your seat is when I rode in a Lamborghini 15 years ago...

Some of you might call me a heretic but I'm thinking about it for next spring. I think he only agreed to let me keep it so that I would crack under the pressure... :D

That's not heresy at all! Those are great cars and fairly rare in red.
