355 F1 Spider & ......V12 w220.176

I am 21 years old. I fell in love with the W220 when it came out so I knew I had to acquire one the first chance I got. Good luck struck and my business was booming and I had the opportunity to pick up a low mileage 2005 S600 in October of '05 and it has been a total dream to drive and own except the fuel economy which obviously is not that economical with the V12 Twin-turbo engine. Also, thank god it was under warranty. I do not suggest buying any V12 Mercedes without a warranty because parts are model specific($$$$) and so is labor.
I don't want to start a flame war with the haters() so I will outright state that my father helped me in getting the funds together for the car after I graduated. I am now looking forward to moving onto a CL65 AMG because quite frankly it's the best BANG for the BUCK out there in regards to luxury and brute power not too mention the rarity of the W215 body style on the roads today. I encourage any RESPONSIBLE 20-something to get into a S-Class that can MAINTAIN it properly. They will adopt a mature perspective towards how automobiles should RIDE and not just focus on flashy things like wheels, audio/video installations, and power ratings.
Remember:

Probably true if you're talking about driving a car off-track.
Definitely not true if you're flying an F-22 fighter. Stability is the enemy of maneuverability, and I have never been in a "comfortable" fighter.

21 and proud of it.
BigBody6 - you took the words out of my mouth... I fell in love with the W220 when it first came out and made myself a promise to get one the first chance I got.
