reformed benz lover

i have to start by saying that i hate the ml's disliked the old sl's dislike the e class and c class. i valet right now because i am a student and i have a chance to sample many cars. i have always been a fan of german made cars. when i say hate or dislike about a mb car, i dont mean i would rather have a cadilac or anything. but i think the e class is the most overrated car i have ever dirven. ok now to the point we have a member at the country club i valet at and he drives a cl55 amg. i am a huge car buff and i know how much these cars cost. so imediately i am excied every time he comes. but just to sit in that car and press the top of the shifter to start the car. then turn on the lights with the way they turn on. its like lighting strikes at first and then they dim and gradually get brighter. it makes me so giddy just sitting in that car i am not sure what to do. i am scared of feeding it to much gas becuase i have so much respect for the car. athying that has that much mass and moves that quickly on a auto trans is ok in my book. i just thought you guys should know what us valets are thinking when we valet your cars. some valets are *******s so watch it. hope you enjoy driving the amg cars as much as i do. great cars guys, good taste

You should try a CL55K. A CL55 with a Kleemann Supercharger.. 560hp/504ft-lbs torque...


Wait till you see the new SL55. 500hp from the factory.

I think these are partly why BMW is going to make the next series M5 a V10. I just hope they don't ruin the looks of the 5 Series like they did to the 7 series.

I'm #1 on the list for the new M6, M5 and SL55. I can't wait.

And I don't think the 7 series is bad looking at all. It's new, and that's the issue. The 5 series is going to look like the 7, so you'll have to deal with it.

I just think the SL55 is a sexy looking car. yum.
