What are the odds of two Black Series at...
Home Depot??? 
So this past weekend I was coming out of Home Depot (don't worry I wasn't putting any sheetrock or 2x4s on the roof of my CLK Black Series)...
As I am leaving, I see this SL Black Series at the end of the parking lot. Whoa!! OK, so the story is really odd already, two Black Series at the same Home Depot? an SL BS, really rare! and only a handful of CLK Black Series in all of Georgia. What are the odds?
Anyway wife and I drive over, roll down the window. The older gentleman is clearly confused. His wife finally gets him to roll the window down and I say nice Black Series. He says thanks. He clearly has no clue that I also have one, I guess maybe because his is really Black in color, mine is White.
Sadly, this is to be expected. I wish everyone was a real enthusiast who owned such an amazing limited-production vehicle.

Some people have no idea what they are driving and have absolutely no clue what the car is all about and what its capable of. 
People like the SL BS owner you met probably walked into a dealership thought the car looked nice, and wanted to impress his neighbors with his $300,000+ purchase.

I was at a local lunch place in the black, and a guy rolls up in a e550 and as it turns out has the only other one i have ever seen in the area...was pretty cool even though they were not seen together.

Corner Bakery ???
Decided to drive my car to work today and take a run over to Corner Bakery for lunch in Chino Hils, CA ... saw another BS and figured it was a safe spot to park in (at least one side).
I took a few pics and hung around for a while. I thought since it was parked in a Orders To Go spot, the owner would be out soon. Well, never got to meet the owner .. had to get back to work.
