Default Saw a CLK Black Series Today... (No Pic, Sorry!)

I wasn't able to take a pic of it since I was on my bike, but I saw a white CLK Black Series today. The guy was turning right as I crossed in front of him and when he pulled into traffic he graced me with monster truck like thunder of the BS exhaust. Just thought I'd share since it's not every day you have an encounter with that rare of a car! Especially when it blows by you at about 3 feet!

I saw an SLS on the road today - no pic from me either since it was going the other way.

Who was it that said the car was like an axe murderer? Incredible power and torque, but it will bite the driver quick. Awesome looking car with serious presence.

I'm not feeling the wing, but those fenders are stout!

My bad haha. My friend had a flight to catch so he had me take the car to get tinted. Pics when he comes back. My loaner phone doesn't have Internet :-|

edit: Apparently there's a red and black Black Series roaming around here as well.

I am almost positive he said that in reference to the C63.

I've yet to see a CLK Black Series but I've seen 2 SLSs in the last week. One driving around Brooklyn and another one in East Hampton.

Dude, if that was you, no worries! You didn't do anything wrong... I was just riding with the flow of traffic... besides if you HAD done anything wrong, that exhaust note made up for it!
