“I’m hoping I’ll be the first person in my area to own the new Balck Series – too bad for everyone else who missed it in the magazine.”

and

“I’ll be able to tell my friends and neighbors how I found it when they come over for a ride.”

And I have to say, that is one butt-ugly mercedes. It looks like a weird cross between a RX-8 and a Civic coupe.
