I couldn't resist the temptation, and just had to rent one while I was there.  This, ladies and gentlemen, is what driving is all about, at least while you're in Europe.  2.8-liter V6 with God knows how much horsepower (I think they're rated different over there anyway) under the hood, that looks like it was sculpted there in place.  I have no idea how fast this thing goes, cause I wimped out after 220 kph (approx. 135-140 mph).  Let me tell you something, you have an accident at that kind of speed, you won't feel it for very long.  There's an old saying, "They don't have accidents on the autobahn, they have fatalities."  :)

Next time I'm there, I'm gonna try and get the Mercedes SL600, or whatever's hot at the time.
