Yes guys, im not an idiot and I know my cars. Tried to take a pic with my camera phone but they didn't come out clear. This S500 had dealer plates on it and it was the new body style. It wasnt AN S550, IT WAS A 500. Wierd...

it was probably one of the demos they send out to dealers or it's a manufacturers car. a lot of times those cars are not sold to customers and are sent back to MBZ.

I'm almost certain it it was a left-hand drive. There was a man and woman in the car and the guy was on the left. I never pulled in front of the car because i was making a right.

It's called an S500 in Europe. It's called s550 only in America.
