No. Just the CLK63 BS. And insurance would have not let us touch a steering wheel.

Asking for a ride in the SL65 just did not seem to be the gracious thing to do when we were being allowed so much beyond what we could expect.

We were having casual conversation with a Mr. Thomas Rappel about AMG Performance Centers and market sizes and demographics. He is the head of product management for AMG. (Not the CEO as google had mis-lead me)

We were there with the giants of AMG. That was really the big deal. If I want to drive an SL65 BS, I can find a way. Access to these guys can not be bought.

That sucks that Jon bought all that food and nobody except MJ showed up. Hope it didn't go to waste though.
