Trading in the E500
Was able to convince the wife to allow a trade of my E500 for an E55 AMG!!
I thought it would take a few months to sell her, but I closed the deal in 48 hrs. It was looking pretty iffy for a while. I closed the deal by looking at her very seriouslyl and saying: "If I don't get that car i'll die". She cracked up laughing, called me an idiot and said go ahead! The car hits the dock tomorrow, so I should have it in 7-10 days. Here's what it's got: Brilliant Silver/Charcoal (thought very hard about tectite), burl walnut, DVD NAV, CD changer, V60 phone (maybe this one will work right), Parktronic, (didn't want it, but the car had it),lighting package, trunk closer (also didn't want this)
Guess i'll be changing my sig. very soon.

Don't you hate it when someone can always beat your hand. 
Last year my neighbour was watching a Motoring Program on television that was reviewing the very latest Bentley Arnarge. (Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson)
He told his wife how depressed he was and needed something 'like that' to cheer him up.
When he went out for a walk she got on the telephone and ordered him a NEW Bentley Arnarge!!!!!!!!
What a car, what a wife.
When he came round to show us his new toy, and told the story I just wanted to know if he was planning on devorcing this lovely lady???
I'm off to tell the wife how depressed I am and desperately want a new E55 Estate
Good luck with your new car and hopefully you will be posting some pictures on this forum.
