Wow what an idiot. He doesn't deserve that car. If I had an S600 I would baby the **** out of it, and keep it far away from the woods, not act like I'm in a Range Rover.

ROFLMAO

As much as I'm tempted to say LOVE IT... alas, a 600's just sodamn special.

I used to totally off-road my 300E years ago, just because (I'm an idjut) and it was pretty / surprisingly capable w/ Blizzak's on there. Got it stuck once reaaaaaal good trying to 3pt turn around after I could go forward no longer. D'oh. Had the RR wheel waaaaay up in the air, all sillylike looking.

What a sight, me, in a suit, in the middle of the woods, trying to jam a long huge log / branch under the wheel while the car was in gear.

But I'm noht dat smaaaht 8-/. I'm kinda a tool - you can call me Stanley.

Great pic, thanks for sharing!
