To Upgrade Car, or Upgrade to Different Car

Well, I drove an '06 E55 the other day...fully loaded.

WOW! I didn't look at what condition the rear tires were in, but whatever the tires and condition, I was able to break them loose from 30mph. The seats are much more comfortable and the sound system is much, much better.

I like my C55, but it seems like getting into a car like that would solve all my problems.

I'm even entertaining the idea of getting a cheaper car just to start saving up and getting one of my fantasy cars...the SL55.

No matter which way you look at it though....any AMG is going to be an awesome car.

It was just some thoughts. I was looking for some feedback from the MB community on any advice they may have.

I kinda think sacrificing a nicer car right now until i can get the one i really want might be the way to go...
