So long C class

Well I've loved my C for about a year, so zippy, fun to drive, and great all around DD. But i did find myself needing something with a bit more space, so today...picked up my 2011 E550. What a great car!

Wow! Very nice, E550s are pretty rare. I imagine that car is very fast. The S550 with the same motor is much heavier and even that car feels fast. I see you got Distronic cruise control, looks like you made a big step up! I also like the interior color. Congrats!

So basically the thought process was like: I need a bit more space... so I doubled my horsepower as well! Congratulations

Lol well I test drove a E63 first.....little weak in the knees driving that! But I need a good daily driver, and 4 wheel drive is a must for Minnesota! Yea I'm not complaining about the extra power. Can't wait to get a renntech ecu tune in

Not really a fan of the facelift, i like the 2 part lights, plus i didnt want to wait or pay the full price for a new model
