New S65 in Delray Beach....but...

This morning I was behind a new W221 S65 AMG on Atlantic headed west and then north on the turnpike. As I was admiring this black beauty I was shocked to see that the driver was a kid smoking a cigarette!!!

I thought to my self..."this **** pore has no idea what he is doing to one of the finest pieces of equipment on the planet"

Kind of spoiled the whole experience for me.

This non smoker would enjoy a used S65 that had been smoked in previously although it would probably be worth less money than the exact same car from a non smoker. I certainly understand the smoking lessening the experience. My first analogy is a hot chick lighting up. As far as the guy smoking, I probably could name dozens of my actions that risk my life too so I will go back inside of my glass house.

Sprink,

Very similar to my experience every morning with a women in a new Porsche Turbo. We get off on Belvedere and head west....for those of you that dont know the area, picture some of the worst railroad tracks you can imagine.....not only is she puffing away with her windows closed of course....but she flys over the tracks without a care in the world.

I pray that she will sell me the car when she is done with it...lol.

I here you re: those tracks on Belvedere. I thought with 3 years of construction with the PBIA Fly Over that DOT FEC Railroad would have solved that problem. It's as bad as it ever was!!!
