2003 CL55
Congratulations Brian! I am sure that you will find the CL55 to be a remarkable automobile. It is quite different from any other.

Sunday was the first day in two weeks since I took delivery of mine that it did not either rain or snow in Boston, so I had a chance to clean and polish it. I never let anyone detail my cars, as I have not found one yet that knows enough about exceptional car care. I have used Zaino Brothers products for the past few years and have found them to be superior to others, although a few on the Rennlist Board (Porsche) rave about Victoria Car Wax products. Victoria is a Carnuba wax, while Zaino products are not wax-based. Obviously, we need to be very careful with our black finishes, as they show any scratches.

With about 600 miles on it, I have not yet experienced the full rush yet, but nonetheless, it is a joy to drive. It feels much lighter than its 4300 lbs. and corners amazingly well without effort. It is unlikely that I will ever get it to 7, 8 or 9/10's, but I am confident that it will comport itself well at the limit. The Bridgestone Potenza's on mine are very good, and a pleasant surprise, even in cold and wet conditions.
