Some auto writers found themselves on the wrong side of the law for no real reason, other than some hating police. The writers were in Spain, test driving a fleet of the new Mercedes E63 AMG. They were pulled over for no reason to begin with. They were not speeding and did not disobey any traffic laws. Once they were pulled over they were harassed and detained because they could not provide an international driver’s license. Only problem with that is an IDL, is not a required form of identification, and all it does it show you have a valid U.S. driver’s license, which they were able to provide anyway. After a few hours of being held, all the writer’s were released, however missing one main thing. The Cars! The cars were impounded and held with no explanation. Each car is worth well over $100,000 and there was at least 6, if not more. Mercedes is aware of what happened and is speaking with the police to get the cars released. Grimey.
