    It's crazy these cars still hold on to their performance 21 years later.

      What's really strange is my 1999 C43 with an E55 engine swap. It's on the same chassis as this car, but with 4 doors. And mine measures better than this car in every way. 0.60 in 4.8s. Quarter mile in 13.3. Stops from 60-0 in 107ft.

    My CLK430 Cabriolet is still the most enjoyable and most missed car I've ever owned. I have never heard so much excitement in John Davis' voice as like at the very end. Love him.

    It's 2023. I saw this exact same car at the self serve junkyard last week. It was complete. I wish it was in my driveway. It would have been fun trying to get it to run.

    Robot Dib runs along another tube arm. Robot Dib makes a huge leap and grunts as he grabs onto an opening in the wall. After he pulls himself up, he sees Gaz standing there, growling.
