It was on the Meadowbrook Parkway just north of the entrance from the Loop... The car is just too much fun to take that turn at anything less than 60mph! (Usually take it at around 70 to 75). I was lucky I didnt get a ticket because three days before I had just payed off another ticket!

The c350 would be nice and I might stretch for that but I cant wait that long. My boss, my clients, and everybody else is ragging on my cars. I cant take the 400+HP rx7 to work and the honda accord sedan is just too beat up.

Quite a bit less than that. For the price of a new C240 he could get a nice C32.
