The pic does look a little stretched ha. Maybe its the CL grill it seems to stick out a little. They are 255/35/20 made by Zinik. I dont like the rims that much but they were on the car when I bought it.

The images seem to have been taken with a slightly wide angle lens...this has a tendency to distort the subject and make it appear longer than it really is. Ads use this as a technique sometimes to create a lower, longer look.

My Dashboard at Night

I finally located the dash light brightness control last night and shot a picture. Looks like Xmas early...

2004 S500
My first 'Benz

Well after several BMW's, 'vettes and other nice rides I decided to climb to the top and have a look. I was smitten by this 2004 S500, Pewter/Charcoal. The only "option" that this car has is "Keyless Go". I think every thing else is standard with the S500. I bought the car in Miami with 10,456 miles. It belonged to a Latin TV star who drove it very little and kept it garaged. I am going through the process of working the gremlins out via warranty coverage. At this time it is in the shop because the automatic door close for the passenger front doesn't work. MB is replacing the pump and I should have it back today.

We love the car...it is fast, smooth and quiet. Not long ago, my wife and I were headed south toward Miami on the Turnpike when she turned and asked "How fast are we going?", I replied " 125" she asked "I don't hear any wind noise". My reply was "Welcome to the standard by which all others are judged"

I just got my 2006 S430 and since it was a stock car there were no Bi-xenons. I see in your signature that your have added "06' Bi-xenons". Can you tell me if this is a simple mod or quite involved and costly. And who did this for you?

Thanks for any input...just wish they had ordered the car with the Bi-xenons!

Took the car out last weekend and did some shoots. I had a great pro film camera with me and the lighting and clouds were perfect, so I decided to play with photography. Unfortunately, I forgot the film in the camera was left there for a year, so the quality came out to be poor.

Here are some half decent ones.

I reworked the two center images...tough lighting to correct and from a film based original. I am not a PS expert but like to fool around with images.
