At this point my wife is about to shoot me because of my addiction to cars. I will probably sell off the Cl55 along with the LS. I told the General Manager that I would trade the 2 even for the 65. He just laughed but at least I tried.

Have you guys seen the Mercedes year end clearance commercial with 9 silver benzes playing the role of reindeers, and one red SL65 as Santa's sleigh driven by the man with the white beard himself?
