Thumbs up Pick-up New s550 9.25.2006

Hello Members,

I look forward to Sharing my experience of finally owning a MB with you guys.I pick up Iridium Silver S550 with Black Interior this Monday.

My past cars :

2004 545i BMW
2001 330 Ci BMW
1998 GS400 Lexus
1994 GS 300 Lexus.

My 3 picks this time around were the 750 Li, GS450, S550. Make it quick the S550 had everything: Technolgy, Sex Appeal, and Engineering and the newest shape that will not change I hope till 2010

I will post picks on Tuesday,

On questions I have a Verizon Razor, I was told to buy toggle, is this true for the bluetooth option.


Thanks
Faze
