But again your car looks great.

Got the wheels thrown on today, I love how they look!
On a side note, I've noticed that the car tracks in the ruts of the road horribly now.. I feel like i've got to fight the wheel to keep it straight, whereas the stock setup would just glide over everything... Is this common? I'm also slightly paranoid that Les schwab intentionally messed with my alignment or something -

Added a new mouth to the litter - E350 Bluetec, P2, pano. Posing with the old car shows a 50 year difference in design:

Thanks for the compliments. The old car is far from perfect - it is unrestored and has more than a little patina and quirks. But, it just keeps going, and probably gets as much attention as a Ferrari. Should look better soon when it is wearing OEM style tires.
I've had the car since I was 18. I find it more fun to drive than any modern car, even my previous C43 and E55 - something mellow yet involved about it, you have to work to go fast, but the car never gets excited. The big squashy seats are excellent, and the car is open and airy inside. Might be one reason I changed to the new car, it is also a laid back drive. Maybe I am past the point of wanting a somewhat rough monster of a car. No complaints yet - I am awaiting to see how the upcoming E250 diesel compares.

that looks awesome, would have loved to get a black one, although in NY/NJ area black ones blend in to much which livery cars...
but after seeing your with those wheels is set it off nicely, very clean and tight look, all the best with it

After wash and wax I decided to snap a couple of pics.
The factory wheels are kinda growing on me. I don't know if I still want to get wheels for it. Mercedes looks really good off the lot compared to a lot of other cars. Well good enough that is.
