I spent it at the farmstand this afternoon. Charge came to $10.16. I had a $10 bill and dug in my pocket for these corroded coins. Fortuitous. Serendipitous. --R Sent from iPhone > On Dec 7, 2019, at 8:27 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > Well, look at it this way: > > You’re $0.16

I looked it up, it's an S430 with AMG package, Someone musta put the S55 badge on the trunk.  Fuckers.  The engine is a 430.  I think the fenders have to be rolled to fit those wheels/tires. The thing doesn't look too bad actually. WDBNG70J0YA090130 772 AMG STYLING PACKAGE-FRONT SPOILER,
