I remember you mentioning them but forgot the name
I don't think I'll be going for a drive today. I went out and the car didn't start. I threw a jump pack on it, 'cause the battery was dead, and it still didn't start. The jump pack is dead. I didn't bother going to get another, or manually jumping the car. I'll just take the day off from driving.
Besides, the car I have out right now hasn't got many miles on it. I'll save some miles by not driving today.
I'll go out to the barn later and pick tomorrow's car. I'll let the mechanics deal with this. I am not sure why the battery is dead.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I think it's got about 18,000 miles? So, it's low mileage, but not as low as I was remembering at the time I made this post.
I still haven't picked a car for the week. I will, but I have way too many choices.
Alright... This week's car:
Does 0 to 60 in just under 3.5 seconds, that's how long it takes to get to 100 km/hr. Has four doors. Has "First Edition" in the title (which might be too helpful, if you use Google). It has 600 HP. It has 553 lb/ft of torque. It is electronically limited to 155 mph. If you remove the governor, which is easy, your top speed is 189 mph, you will want different tires. If you remove the governor, it takes 32.5 seconds to reach 189 mph. It was a limited edition. There are just 400 examples for the entire globe.
That's quite a few hints, but I don't think they make it too easy. It might be too hard, actually.
Mine has 44 miles. I paid at LEAST $40,000 less than it was worth. It was about $115,000 new. They expected it to sell in the $125,000 - $175,000 range. I paid $80,000 for it. The total was $88,000 - except I only pay 5%, so it was $84,000 even though it lists it at $88,000. It's "frozen dark red" in color - from a 'famous' car collector that mostly only has red cars.
Good luck!
Is it a Mercedes?
It is not. It is one from the Michael Fux collection, from which I've purchased some lovely red Mercedes examples. In the car's full name, there are two "m"s. The car was made by one of my favorite companies.
