She's Gone...

For 11 months and 7 days and just over 18,000 miles... I enjoyed every minute I had and drove the car. She is gone now.

The car was flawless and incredibly solid. It was my most favorite thing about the car.. it was so solid. No squeaks, no rattles....

I loved my CLS55

But the top didn't fold down

Don't no about the 63 motor... but the cls55 rules.

I'll still be lurking... let me no if you guys need some help with anything

What are you gonna get? You were crazy about that car! I've come to the realization we're all nuts though. I was also crazy nuts about my E55 and basically woke up one day and decided I wanted something else after a little less than two years of ownership.

I thought when I bought the car I would be keeping it for 10 years or so (yeah, right). Even bought an extended warranty. I think finally realize I am just not wired that way. I'm not even going to pretend i'm keeping any car for anything for but a couple of years.

My 997S is only 4 months old and I'm already thinking about what's next!!

Hey Chris, how's the S? Awesome car!!!!

We're all sick people! I had my E55 for 2 months (that's only cuz retard T-Boned me and then tried to run away), CL55 3 months - actually hated the car...I still have my M5 but will be sold this week, the M6 I love so much, I originally leased it but ended up outright buying it today. I'll make it my "project" car. I'm waiting for the E63 so I can drive it everyday. Considered the CLS63 but it's really a 4 Door Coupe I guess and having the M6 I didn't want two coupes...sorta.

Ahmad is going to try and arrange a Sep-Oct drag day, you gonna make it out?

One of the Sales managers at a different dealership (same owners) wanted the car for himself.

They gave me 80K on trade.

With the 6.25% saved on the sales tax - trade, it was like getting 85K on trade.
