The thing I like best about my 2012 E350 is that my wife loves it. As a result, it is now her car and I drive my 2006 C350.

I love my 212 because last night some douche mid-30s bro pulled up next to me in a brand new S5 and gunned it at the light, and I then proceeded to smoke him. TWICE. From a standstill. With 4 people in my 2 ton sedan. Dude looked so pissed in my rear view mirror.

Hype - I think the second set would look the best on your blacked out beast but either are killer. Can't go wrong.... Enjoy

btw - what specifically caused the sickening feeling from the bug? Roll, pitch or just the glass fishbowl effect?
