My sympathies, if that's your car.

Pardon my cluelessness, but does "DL" stand for (on the) Down Low, meaning "hidden"? Always good advice, if a bit late in this case.
That's why I keep my E500 in my garage at night. With the garage door shut. At the end of a long driveway past my house. With the driveway gate shut.

Nope. Thats not my car. Im not sure whose it is or the story on it. Id be in jail if that were my car and there would be a dead body somewhere.

Youre right. DL means Down Low.

I dont "floss" my car, it already attracts negative attention as it is hence the scartches on the hood and sides. Whenever I talk to someone and the subject comes up I dont stress the fact that its a nice car. I just play it off and act normal.

There are already so many E classes around my city that I don't feel special anymore.

hah .. if you "flossed" your car here in SoCal, people would laugh at you. I see Ferraris, Bentleys and Lambos in the parking lot of my local Albertsons (grocery store).

I could not agree more. Was in San Diego a few weeks back and I could not believe how often I saw myself coming and going. Particularly black 07 sports. They were everywhere!

Luckily, the car I've ordere E550 w/ 321AMG is still fairly unique even to SoCal but looks just like a E63 or E350 to the untrained eye, so I'm hoping for very little trouble w/ idiots.
