The bad news: got rid of my E500. the good news...

Just brought home an E55 Oh man, it is sweet. Unless your prepared to buy it, I don't suggest any test drives. That's what I did, and I was hooked! The E500 put a smile on my face every time I got in it (even with some of the nagging BS we've all experienced), I'm hoping the E55 will even surpass those feelings.

Hi Chris,
Congratulations on the new car, is it possible for you to stay on this great forum as well as the AMG?

Your updates are very informative and most welcome.

Take care on the 'highways and bye-ways'

lexusfan, by the "boss" i'm assuming you're refering to my wife and not Bruce Springsteen! Well, quite honestly, she's a little pissed. She thinks I made the deal first and then talked to her about it. Oh well, i'm sure she'll get over it

John, thanks for the kind words. I would never leave this forum I feel like i've gotten to "know" a lot of great people here. The E55 is still a W211. Still a lot of information on this forum. thanks again.

Seeing that you are a local LI guy like myself, I think you should come over and let me drive it

Congrats!!
