Good evening and hello

Hello, the name is...hoseclamp, been driving domestic forever, still am, a buddy took me for a ride in his '12 sls roadster, couldn't shake the sensation after that. Traded off a low mileage convert I picked up for kids and wife on a '13 e550 convert, factory order, red with tan int and top, burl walnut trim, it will be here any day. Found exact build on line.


Eyed up a demo '12 s550, amg pkg, 20's, alpaca int with walnut, Designo Alanite Grey matte paint, awesome, been a long time since I drove just to drive, might get it home today





Put my project Cherokee srt8 into the pot for that one. Wife drives a '09 ford flex limited, served well, tried getting her into a ML63, 550hp model, nope wants bigger cab, likes smoother power delivery of a diesel, ordered that today. Money saved, not likely, will go into kitchen remodel I'm sure. Work truck is a '13 f450. Tired of tinkering, I just want to cruise when I get the chance, and enjoy. Good day everyone!
