I drove one of those said V12 "wee Mercedes convertivles" today. Its
probably an SL600.....V12 Twin Turbo. Its unbelievable, and gets an
astonishing EIGHT MILES PER GALLON!!!!

My boss has one. He's rediculous, spends to much on cars, whatever.
It's honestly amazing......but id still rather be struggling up hills in my
vanagon!

About my vanagon (required vanagon content)- The mechanic who undertook the
exaust removal on FRIDAY and broke a drill bit inside my head has not shown
up to work since then. They all thought he quit....till today he came in,
started looking at the vanagon on the rack...THEW UP.....and 'went home
sick" (NOT LIEING, I SAW IT HAPPEN). Who knows when they'll take care of
their mistake. Hopefully soon.
