Just like I expected, our friend WSH's tantalizing "tongue" has apparently fallen prey of some Darwinian adjustment--just not strong enough to survive when confronted to produce facts to back up the BS.
Then again, he may have gotten busy all of a sudden dvvg n chlgn his precision drvg w/S/CL/SL65 and survvg Podung's POS subpar <150K BMW/Audi/nonS/CL MB, and instead risk adjusting his time to incl. some truth quotient. Or, maybe in bus/trp in SF/BH/other affuent region attracting semi/jaded/disllznd bi-plr finncl types. Perhaps spending tm w/several colleagues in NY/CHI/BH/SF, bashing new F/P, or chgng these every 6 mo. or so. Six mo prd must be up, etc.

He is still here:
"Doctor, am living vicariously through you as I await my 65, so look fwd to your impressions....
Which tires on your 65? Any impressions re: traction on dry, uneven pavement? My sense is AMG continually refines the throttle response on 65, even MY09 vs MY08....my last test drive of an '08 CL65 (w/Yokos) left me rather impressed w/trac of CL65 chassis set-up/throttle resp on dry, uneven pavement...
BTW, enjoyed a spectacularly fun, uninterrupted drive in my usual mtn twisties route today AM....and ran across (again) a guy who drives a blk/blk CL63 030 and seems to share my wkend twisties addiction.....amusing that in a region littered w/599s, Scuds and SL63 030s, the car I most often run across in wkend twisties is an AMG CL....
