55555 on '05 55!

Hi guys,
I'm a bit crazy when it comes to numbers - love to see 5:55 pm on both my car and cell phone at the same time- so imaging my excitement when yesterday morning I see 55,555 miles on my odometer on the way to work! I even pulled over and snaped a pic. Not only that, but I just ordered my 5th set of tires. Just feel very fortunate to enjoy this great automobile every second and every mile.
Wish you all happy driving!

I think you're a little tooooo obsessed with the 55 numbers, lol. I guess u might as well indulge in enjoying that view in ur watch....it will no longer be possible to have that privilege once the 63 model is out!! Aside from it being capable of smoking the current E55's, the 63 number might be a serious con for you to consider when u want to upgrade...hahaha

Well, I bet you'd be able to stretch a time just a bit to get 16:63 on the watch while driving 63 over 163 mph JK
