First, this. A 450SEL W116. Sadly not the legendary 6.9, but nevertheless an awesome car. It was in perfect shape, too.

Secondly, an absolutely stunning new S-Class with foreign plates. Can anyone tell where it's from? (EDIT: they are from a district in Germany.)

And the new GLA, witch as I've said, I quite like. Especially since we don't get the A or B-Class.

I also attended a small car show.

Yummy, Love the Callaway.

Those plates on the Benz are strange, looks like Albania or some shit.

That 58 cameo is Incredibly rare. Only like 1500 made. I've only ever seen one, this one:

Blue balls on the back of the truck and chrome tape on the side. JUDGE AWAY!

The 20-something owner was standing right next to me when I took the picture. I'm sure he was flattered. Little did he know...

I just noticed that is a chrome redneck badge on the back, he ruined a Cummins and he should feel bad. Also, no one with any self respect uses TSL Thornbird tires.

I can only imagine what the tire roar must be like at speed.

Probably terribly loud. Mine is just on the limit before it gets annoying, but mine are also designed for street use in mind.

Actually, I just googled them. They aren't very loud, because what they are (as you likely know) is the ultimate poser tire, a tire that performs like a road tire (smooth on-road, not very good off road), but looks like a big bad mud tire. Sums up the truck well, really.

I figured they would be loud. I still don't understand why you would so much on a tire on a truck that heavy. They will last 10k miles, maybe.

Side note: Those are Swamper TSL's and they have some actual off-road ability. Not that the rest of the truck does but whatever. Thornbirds are a different design and yes, are a poser tire.

Looking again, I see that now. The angle of the pic without zooming in made it look like some of the tread was the outer claws like on a Thornbird.

I believe plates on the S are what they use for European delivery.
