Marked my territory today...
Still getting used to the unreal power of this "four door family sedan". Well my neighbor is the type that only buys American cars. He's got a mint '66 big block Chevelle and a 30's something ZZ Top hot rod. He is good for about 2 burnouts a week past my house. This morning I see him mowing his lawn and he shuts it down and says "so your sporting a benz?" So as I pull out of my driveway, I turn off the AC and Traction control. I stop in front of his house, left foot on the brake and punch it. Let off the brake after about 3 seconds and left 60 feet of stripes and smoke everywhere. I had to let off the gas because it started to get SIDEWAYS!!! I only wish I had his expression on video. I know it isn't the most mature thing to do but man was it cool. The way I see it, if you do something right the first time you don't need to do it again...

No kidding on the new tires. I had to peel off little pieces of melted rubber off the inner wheel fender!! Mine came with Goodyear F1's on it. They look super sweet from behind, but I know they are truely summer tires. I'll need to get something more for the Chicago winters.

Yeah, I've got a few months to pick the new wheels that I want. I'm gonna put the new wheels on the F1's and put the stock wheels on the winter tires. I'm leaning towards something balck with a polished chrome lip. It's a sinsiter look. But then again, there are some sweet looking HRE silver wheels out there as well. A fun problem to ponder for a few months.
