Does anyone have updates

4. Link here for that. The guy is lucky to be alive, imho.

That Mercedes can accelerate pretty quick when the pedal is floored.

8. Big Hugs to the protesters that were hit

that is awful... and that jerk that hit them probably has student loans even if he is trying a Mercedes.

I can't wait to hear more on him.
