06 CLS55 AMG & 08 CL65 Mystic White
What to have in the garage next to a CLS55

For me, it's a 08 CL65 Mystic White. I have some pics posted on the CL65 board. I'll post some of my own pics soon.

And to think I almost traded in the CLS55 but instead the BMW has to go. Not going to miss that horrible transmission in the 07 x5 4.8i

The way your question was worded was what to have not what do you have no?

I have a Torch Red 67 blown injected Camaro sitting next to my CLS55...
Im gonna post a bunch of pics of my new prize soon! Ive been lurking for sometime and finally pulled the trigger when I found a black/black with 14K miles. I have pretty much every option. Paid 53K (which I thought was a pretty fair deal) brand new Bridgestone Potenzas.... After reading many posts throughout the forums I have learned so much from everyone here. Its been a pleasure picking up on everyones knowledge of this awesome car! Im giddy!

the cls55 is an all around good car. you can drive it in any weather (although you probably don't want to) and so its good to keep as a daily driver. mine (silver / gray interior) sits between a black range rover (rainy and snowy days), a gold gs300 (grocery getter), and a navy blue 997 carrera 2 S. When lucky, there is also a white Jaguar XKR that my friend leaves at our place from time to time. the contrast between white, silver, gold, and black looks amazing. the blue sits on the side. i'll post pics when all of the cars are washed...

cls 55 amg
if its a wish list, i would say an M3 coupe (spacegray with red interior) or an audi S5 or a jaguar XF supercharger.
now coming back to real life, my 55's neighbor is a toyota sienna minivan.

The Camaro is just over 800 ponies but the 55 is sooo much more fun to drive! Plus the Camaro cant do 155 mph.......

Yes quick it is! Fun to blow a Z06 off the road in the 1/4 anyway
Even more fun tho to watch peoples jaw drop when they see a bugcatcher fuel injector sittin on a blower next to them at a stoplight!
