2006 S65- I had to buy it!!!
New member here.
So I'm out test driving new Sedans in the 100k -120k range......s550 , 760, 750, M5,Schd RangeRvr etc.
I've owned the 220 s class before as well as a CL and I had no intention of going back......then I drove it. Oh MY ...The power!!!!
I know the body style is out of date now. But I couldnt stop thinking about the power.
I bought it. (yahooooo!)

Congratulations on the new S65, I'm sure you will love the amazing amount of power in that automobile. Try not to get too many tickets.

Never noticed those before. Don't you just love finding out something new about a car after you've bought it.
Thanks

With power like that in your boat, must be quite a letdown getting in the S65.
I have been in a skater with 1075's and that was one white knuckle ride but I have no doubt that it's a *****cat compared to yours.
