Loving the E500

I was driving to work this morning and some *** in a 540 got behind me and was riding my *** so I punched it and I am totally stoked about the response. It almost felt like I was thrown back in the seat.
I was being good for the first 1000 miles and just hit it last night so I felt it was ok to lay into it a bit. All I can say is "NICE" as I grin from ear to ear.

Growing to love the car as I drive it more and more.
Wheels and tires estimated to be here next week. Can't wait. Will post pics.
Hopefully getting it lowered the same week.

Love my 2 week old E500 also. Just installed some OEM bi-xenons, 100% better than the stock halogens..
