S550 sighting
Saw an S550 for the first time other than at the dealership. Rims, everything, very nice! Too bad the driver was shot and killed 5 minutes later. I saw the driver recieving a ticket from a motorcycle officer while sitting at the red light. Of course when the light turned I went about my way. Minutes after I saw police units coming from every different direction toward the area I just came from. It turns out the driver of the 550 wasnt too thrilled about getting a ticket and he and the cop got into a physical altercation. A witness walked out of the store, ran to his car and got a .45, and shot the man 5 times. Kinda makes you wonder.....
