Thanks, just got back this morning.
Never found anything to do re Mercedes but I did rent a big Harley and cruised for a while in the nicer residential areas and some not - just exploring.
Overall saw a few older Porsches under restoration, saw a 190sl under a tarp, saw lots or 80-90's sl's, even one on the back of a towtruck, and only saw two Pagodas, - one on the main strip and one heading to work in the business district.
Saw several 70-80's sedans in various states of repair.
