Car sightings. Black CLS and an Unidentified Benz.
on my way down Tampa Rd. in oldsmar on my way to take my lil bro to his friend's house i saw 2 cars that caught my eye.
1) Black CL Type S with mirror tint, factory spoiler, and big rims. i couldnt tell how big but my guess is 19, it looked awesome. i was wondering if by anychance its one of you guys?
2) a champagine (sp?) colored Benz that when looking in the rear view seemed to be a last gen SL or CL but when i slowed down and it passed me the badge said S 500. now i know i dont know everything BUT i didnt think they made a S coupe?! it looked sooo cool, almost exactly like what a fully hard top last gen SL would look like. any of you ever seen one of these or have an explanation of the Benz?

The day I first saw one I was a HS Senior and wanted one BAD, at its time it was the most technologically advanced car on the road. But,, I think my dad had trouble with the idea of putting up the $109,000 (yes, they were priced higher and the CL600 went for $133,000). I settled into my Accord coupe instead
