Mercedes has typically been seen as a car for old people by some who ignore years of racing heritage and do not do research: Case in point! Smell the Medicated Powder? What also does'nt help is the fact that the typical Mercedes driver looks like this: Ergh? After Yachting they're going to go write their wills... Well... let a crusty old man drive this and see what happens: In a sick way, I'd love to see what happens if anyone over 80 drove this... Oh... thats convenient!... Just take a quick look at Mercedes styling in the last 5 years. They have really stepped up the aggressive fascias, which is a good thing. The old benzes look like regal German sedans. The new benzes look like they are about to rape and pillage a coastal village. The latter is ten times more badass. They should have their performance heritage rise to higher prominence and let the "amount of golf bags that fit in the trunk" stat take the back burner.

Today is a day that shall live in the annuals of HISTORY! No, a harbor was not bombed by those sneaky Japanese, or something stupid like that. My Mercedes C280 (chassis code w202) defied physics. My car was not started in over two months, and upon last being driven, the car was deemed to need two things, gas and brakes. My Merc is a legend, for it is in the Savemybenz.com Parthenon of Badass for going ridiculously fast in an epic race. So here is the deal, my tank was basically empty. Nothing. Zilch. It had as much gas as Paris Hilton has talent. (At non sexual favors that is...if it was her talents in that arena, the car could of equaled Saudi Arabia) MMM Carls Jr. ... MMM as much talent as the Merc had gas. Not the first time she had that much meat in her mouth... BOO YAH! (Ok I'm done...) It started right up, and drove quite nicely for a car with 107,000 miles on it... I have no idea how it drove. It made it to the gas station just fine and dandy. So thats pretty badass. Here i...

However, with their larger size, these rides are often soft and cushy. These cars however are not soft and cushy. These cars will tear you a new one before you even realize that a car can, in fact, tear you a new one. The E55 AMG Stealth Level: Four Ninjas out of Five. This car is friggin' sweet. Recently covered in this months Car and Driver, the 1997-2002 E55 AMG is subtle power. It is the automotive equivalent of a UFC fighter whose day job happens to be a middle management boss. At the Gap. It has the 5.5L V8 that produces 347hp, and 355 lb/ft torque, with 0-60 in the sub 6 second range. Impressive indeed for a car that is older. And oh so sneaky. Compare it to this: This car is as subtle as an RPG up your ass. Which isn...
