Guess who got behind what?

Well it wasn't me, but it was a CLK-GTR....in Mt.Dora, Florida no less.

There is an annual charity invitational meet, the next one being April 16 and 17, and this car has shown up the past 2 years. Is this the only one in town? How about the state? How about the US?

If it isn't certified, would you be able to drive it less than 2500 miles a year?

Here it is in the event.

Mt. Dora is better known for its antiques, but here is the car.

That's really cool! I've never seen one! Is that an old W126 SEC Coupe in the backround? That's nice too!

Let's see...I beleive there were 20 of them made, 5 of them roadsters (one in the US). There was a coupe for sale on EBay a few months ago-starting bid was 1.2. Here's the text from http://www.grandprixsales.com/ on the roadster:


2002 CLK-GTR-Roadster This very rare car can only go up further in value since they will only produce 5 of this model in a Roadster Edition. This is a rare opportunity for you to own this vehicle. This is car number 5 and will be ready for Germany Delivery in December of 2002. Please do not e-mail unless you know that this car will cost you more than $2.5M.

And the least he could do with a $2.5 Million + car is pop the coupla bucks to put a classy personalized plate on it :sheesh:

If I saw one of those at a stoplight, I'd probably be forced to get out of my car and ask for a ride.

But doesn't that make it for cops and residents to spot the car if we're racing?

Daang...I love that car. Can't believe they only made 20 of them. They should make a cheaper version of it, make it look somewhat like that and sell it for like 300,000 or something
