Default Merecedes SL 500 vs. 69 Coronet

I can't believe this happened.

Today I was heading back home while out cruising in my Coronet. I pulled up to a light just behind a SL 500, and the guy was dicking around with something in the front seat when the light changed. I tooted the horn and this guy took off. I figured what the heck and took off after him. I was able to gain on him without manually shifting. Those of you who know these old cars, know how much of a difference it makes to manually shift. I chased him to about 90 MPH when I left off.

I managed to get in front of him at the next light and he came flying up behind me and I pulled over to get him beside me. He tried me once from a roll and was put down pretty quick.

I did learn one thing though. That $90K Mercedes runs pretty good.

I bought it back in 1993 for $500 and 67K miles. I keep it because it's the only car that's paid off.

That's about the same time I got my Roadrunner, but it was my first car.
