For me, I've had the penchant for black motorcycles, and silver cars.

Apparently the cars tested were not production models but test mules to improve handling & dynamics. I had to post that seeing Jeff leaned silver
The engine (for the MP-4-12C) has been developed and is being built in-house and is not an MB unit. Mercedes could very well go its own way in 3-4 years. The current agreement is that they will supply engines to McLaren until 2013 or so. They have also sold their stake in the company or have reduced it to a non-significant number.
I think its a great car from a boutique manufacturer. They also want to build other cars and ramp up production to 4000 units in a few years across 3 models. Of the first year production of 1000 units, around 1/3rd will make it to North America.

I have alot of cat dreams lately but I think it's related to the little tiger who sleeps in our room and walks on me, or paws my head when he decides it should be "dinner time"

I like the folding hard top. That would have been a great option for the S, but it usually is expensive. The Volvo convertible model (C70?) has that as well. Best of both worlds.

I was burning up, very hot, summer like sticky
Ganzo was snuggled up close on one side, Gizmo on the other
Between their body heat and the comforter, me stuck in the middle was melting
