You can stumble onto the strangest things in New York

This past Saturday my wife and I were going to see a friend's band play a show, and we got done with dinner a bit early so we decided to stroll around a bit and work off a few calories before hitting the bar. If there's one thing I've learned after living in NYC the past 6 years it's that you can pretty much expect to see anything at anytime. Crazy people, famous people, rare cars, expensive cars, pretty much anything is possible at any time. There are certain things you do not ever really expect however, and seeing the 2010 Championship DTM AMG C Class Mercedes sitting alone in a giant and unfinished new dealership is certainly one of those things. So when we happened upon this only-in-New York scene, naturally I decided to take some pictures....

Ever get in one of those moods?

Okay, so this makes for the third non VW-oriented post in a row, but I'm a still a little inspired by the BMW Art cars. So inspired I went back again today and took more pictures. Even inspired enough to look for 320i cars for sale on eBay. Crazy right? Right. I mean what would I do with a 30 year old BMW? Not so many of those around either, it would appear, but there were a few E30 M3's for sale. One salvage title, one mint condition low mile example, and one with what might best be described as a grammar-impaired owner car, which may as well be a salvage title. Hmm. If only I could travel back in time...
So I decided to do a little digging and post up what might be one of the better DTM clips I've seen on the youtube. The E30 M3 is on my short-list of cars to own as soon as I have more cash, right behind (or is it in front?) of a 964 Carrera C2. At any rate, these things were nuts. Great fun, and always on the edge. Enjoy!
