This is Beastie, on a clear day in the mountains. Despite her weight, she is quite capable on winding mountain roads, and feels reasonably agile for a two-ton Teuton.

A close of one of the AC Schnitzer Type III 19s, which replaced the stock 16s. The brakes are non-crossdrilled Brembos. The tires are Pirelli P-Zeros, 235s on the front and 275s on the back. I used to have Michelin Pilot Sports, which looked very nice and performed amazingly, but I enjoy the more civilized ride on these Pirellis.

Beastie's ominous black hue and aggressive looks (lowered about 1 in. from stock with H&Rs and Bilsteins) often provoke many road bullies at stoplights and freeways. If she decides to get frisky, Beastie holds her own much of the time.

I have plans, though... When the day comes when I can install my secret weapon, road bullies will have to get used to my darkened taillights.

Beastie resting in front of the garage of the house where I used to live. I think she gets kind of lonely, because there aren't many of her kind around anymore.

Luckily, there are many fine and fast automobiles owned by really friendly people. Here, Beastie nestles snugly between two German beauties from Stuttgart just after getting a Schnitzer front spoiler. This picture was taken before I got the smoked corner lenses and Piaa fog lights.
