Brabus is no more.

Today the car world is mourning the unfortunate passing of Brabus founder and CEO Bodo Buschmann. The man responsible for some of the maddest Mercedes’ on the planet died yesterday aged 62 following a short illness, the company confirmed in a statement.

In my short time on the forum, it's become painfully obvious the S class portion is dominated by old school traditionalists. That's too be expected considering the demographics of the typical buyer. Not a problem, just the way things are.

Even though I fit the age and income bracket to be associated with this group, I think this car is S.A.F.
