I wasn't looking for a car a year ago. But in about August 05 my 1983 Benz 380SL started developing problems that took longer than usual to fix. I still have it and it's still at the mechanic's house, by the way. He has 5 or 6 Benzes and BMWs that he's working on parked around his house at all times.

So I finally realized I would have to get a more reliable car and looked at a 300C. I had no awareness of SRT8, my local dealer didn't have one in stock and didn't mention anything about it, but I joined this forum and that's how I found out. Got an SRT8 at the very end of 2005.
