A certain BEAST followed me home on Friday night

Holy Crap!! I love my new to me 2012 E550!! This thing is a beast is all I can say. This car just oozes power and wants to go. I didn't get to drive her all day Saturday due to daddy duties and Disneyland (Q5 is the family truckster) and today didn't get to drive her till this evening. I already started modding her after bringing her home late Friday night. I have swapped out the wheels and put my 19" CLS 55 AMG wheels which I will be selling because I have new wheels on the way this coming wednesday. I want to sell the 18" AMG factory wheels as well but I took the tpms off of them. I also debadged the blue efficiency badges and the side chrome strips as well. As well as picked up the V8 BiTurbo badges that will go on this week. Going to see about getting the chrome around the mirrors and trunk wrapped in black. I'm also waiting for AMG pedals, matte door seat buttons, clear side markers. Going to most likely do the OE tune before the end of the year. Also already looking for exhaust and down pipes. I also love the Diamond White and the black interior and black wood. It even has a wood/leather steering wheel and it feels great. I know I know I'm just ranting but I just love this car. Ok time for some pics (I know I know I need to take better ones) I apologize for the iPhone pics.

Awesome car....I just picked up mine last Friday....and I agree.it's a fun car to drive.
As per modes...all im going to do is replace my fender badges with the bi-turbo badge and rear roof and trunk spoilers....it's why I'm over on this forum getting ready to see if anyone has any for sale before going to ebay.
Enjoy your ride.

I don't get the title of this thread. So the beast is this car, which followed you and that means you were not driving this car...??? Then who was...or was the beast driving this car?
