Buy it if you can. For the money it is the best value for fun vs. $ there is. I don't know if you can tell but in the pic of the Benz there is a Red Vette in the corner.

That is what I was driving all weekend. It has heads up display which is really cool (your dashboard is refelcted on the windshield just below your line of site.)

That is my Dads car. The car has a mean roar too. It is also easy to drive. Top goes up easy.

I am back home now. Deciding between the Volvo and Honda to take my daughter to school tomorrow.

I’ve had my Jeep up to over 115. Didn’t realize it at the time, speedometer read a little over 100 but I found out after putting a radar in it that my speedometer was reading 15 MPH low due to larger tires.
That’s +115 MPH with 33” mud tires, solid front axle with manual steering and drum brakes all around.
If I told you guys what I’ve done on my bike you’d think I’m even crazier than you probably think I am now.

Beautiful car, BTW. I’ve always wanted to play with an “auto-stick” transmission. It just sounds like fun.
So, next time your brother is passing around the keys, keep me in mind. ;)

Wow.... I bet those mud tires were humming pretty good.

The stupidest thing I can recall is doing 156mph on a Katana 850. Open stretch of road, no traffic, but still one of the dumbest things ever. I was pretty careless growing up...

Tunnel vision comes into play at that speed, and your peripheral visions melts away. It was exhilarating.... but I never should have done it. Wish I would have gotten into skydiving....

By that time all I could hear was the top flapping in the hurricane speed wind.

Good point on tunnel vision.
For those that haven’t experienced it, it’s where you see a clear pattern in front of you and things on the peripheral of your vision are a blur as they fly past. The faster you go, the smaller the clear pattern becomes.

Mr Mojo-Rising....

From the looks of your brothers garage, one could assess that your brother has a very small penis.

I was 16 working at a car dealership and took a Lambrogini about a 1/2 mile up the street to get a new muffler put on it. I went to 2nd gear and stomped it. The power and speed of the take off scared the crap out of me. Went the speed limit the rest of the way.

Now that I'm a middle aged suburbanite with no life I'd like to try it again.

I've driven several Vipers and a few Stealth twin turbos. Ran a Viper up to 150 mph several times. Pretty sweet.

The fastest I have been was in my 300ZX way back when and got it up to 142. At that speed it feels like you are in a tunnel and barely any turn of the wheel goes a long way.

I had an SLK350 not too long ago, my mechanic friend was putting breaks on it and he test drove it to 164.

I don't know about you, Mr. whatsmynameagain (if that's your real name). But speaking personally, pathetic is one of my better qualities.
