I drive a beautiful 1984 Mercedes-Benz SEC 500 that I call ‘Night Rage’. It’s elegant, easy to ride, and has air suspension so I use it every day. I also have a 1936 Mercedes 170V on display at MBCCR 2022. I also drive a 1975 BMW R75/6. It has an upgraded twin boxer engine with forged pistons and connecting rods. and very fun to drive.
