http://ktla.com/2015/01/22/police-ar...ding-motorist/

Saw it on my FB newsfeed yesterday. Seems to be a C63 smashing through Hollywood.

Tough to tell if it's an AMG.

I think I see hood bulges at 00:19, but not sure if it's a reflection.

I saw close-up video taken of the aftermath and it was a C63. The question is whether it was the driver's own car or a stolen car. And if the latter I'm always curious as to how it was taken (started).

Definitely not looking forward to the speed limits when I move back to the States later this year. The way the say "Up to 100mph" like it is unthinkable/unimaginable for a car to be able to reach those speeds just makes me cringe. Pretty sure I hit 100 everyday heading home from work. I can't wait to get my summer tires back on because my winters are only rated for 149 mph.

I feel sorry for my car. I feel like I'm taking a lion from its natural habitat and putting it in a community zoo. I have kind of considered selling it here in Germany so it doesn't have to go through the shame....

I'm not too worried. People probably think it's a C250.

I guess the police are one of the few people who are happy with our thimble sized gas tanks.

I would love to move there and take mine. I was just in K-Town two weeks ago. Actually had a decent A4 rental to drive between Stuttgart and K-Town to FRA. Glad to see much of the A6 construction is done. Plus driving on a Sunday, no trucks....
