Wonderful day. (Sighting of a CL600)

Well, I really havn't seen many CLs in Michigan, let alone a CL600, but today on the freeway, I spotted a delightfully sculpted car zooming by as I was entering the ramp on my way to Somerset Mall. I annoyed the driver and the passengers of the CL600 a bit, trying to catch up to him in my own CL, unfortunately, an Acura CL. :p The driver was doing much faster than me, and I had to haul a$$ to catch up to the car just to get a glimps of the side and the front. I've seen numerous picture and videos of the car, but the car in real life had so much presence, and was sucha beauty. This particular one was silver with AMG sports package, and had IL plates. Well, if the driver is on this forum by chance, I give you props on your car!!

p.s.
At the mall, I also say a black SL500, and a diamond silver SL500 with AMG body. What can I say, it was just a wonderfup day for me.

Just today I was a silver S55 AMG Kompressor, on M59 and Telegraph in Michigan.
Who said there are not many CL in Michigan? There are many of them

The last time I went up to Somerset Mall, I saw quite a few high-end cars. There was a red Ferrari 360 Modena parked outside Saks, and another red 328GTS just crusing around. I also saw a Acura NSX, and countless Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, Jags, ect.

There is big money in Troy. I live in Toledo, OH and usually head up there a couple times a month.

The local MB dealer in Toledo currently has a CL 600 sitting on the floor. They actually have a pretty good selection right now, including two CLK 500s. One of them is pre-owned, which was surprising.

Yeah, that mall has some high end cars parked all the time. My female friends from school always ask me for a ride to go there, and when I do go, I just go for the cars. I hate shopping, especially when it's with a girl, or even worse, girls. :p A few visits ago, I saw a Bentley Arnage Red Label. I let my friends go inside, while I just stood there drooling.

Ditto...
And I thought my school had some hot cars... What school do you go to, and what do these people do? or I guess the better question is what do their parents do???

I study at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. Their parents work in various oil and gas companies (such as, maybe someone knows, Lukoil (in USA i guess it`s called Getty), Yukos, Gasprom). Their parents are businessmen (Boris Berezovskiy, Mikhail Hodorkovskiy, Vagit Alekperov). Here also study daughters of the president and the prime-minister of Russia (Vladimir Putin and Mikhail Kasyanov).

The BMW X5 4.6iS belongs i guess to the son of the president of an oil company.
I`ll try to take a photo of that car. I dont have a digital camera but i will ask my friend to take a snap with his Nokia 7650.
