Barolo Red S550 w/AMG pkg spotted!
Let me tell you something boys and girls....
I have an S550 on order, which I thought was going to be another obsidian (I still have time to change the color).
I have always hated "burgundy" cars, just a little bit less than Everest Green. I never thought I would even consider one. Until today, that is.
Close to dusk I spotted one going the other way. I swang a quick U'ie and pursued.
The color is darker than in the brochure. Man was it a beautiful, classy combo. As I came up on it I wasn't sure if it was Barolo or Obsidian or Black Opal or Capri (it was approaching sunset)
The lady rolled down her window for me when I pulled up beside her. The Barolo with the beige interior was stunning. The colors worked so well together.
The drivers passenger, an attractive 20 something, looked at me over her sunglasses and said "Your getting rid of THAT for THIS" I think she liked the E55.
Sorry, but I didn't have my camera. So here is a pic of my ride. I just wanted you guys to check this thread out.
Now I've got some decisions to make.

The Sahara looks fantastic in real life and goes perfect with the White. Now you have a harder decision...:-)

Jack, I am talking about his E55, not an S550. He has the original style 1 sirius antenna.
