Hello from The New Guy

Hi everyone, long time car lover and gearhead here - taking ownership of my first Benz soon - a 2011 E550 sedan. I've never even driven a Benz until I got behind the wheel of this E550 and it was instant karma I was looking for a car suited for long distance commuting that can hold three or four people and have plenty of room, comfort and power. The e550 hits on all those notes. The first thing I'm going to do is work on bringing out more of that V8 growl and learning how to operate all the COMAND functions. I'm looking forward to meeting members of the forum here to exchange ideas, etc.
