Jealous of all the W221 Owners!

To prelude my story - I sold my C 230 in May to start my career in NYC. It was tough seeing my baby go to the hands of another as I commute on foot, subway and taxi cab.

With that said, I have not been behind the wheel of a Benz UNTIL this weekend!

While I am always on Mercedes reconnaissance, I thought I'd go see first hand some MBs at MB Manhattan. The guys there were AMAZING! I told them my next purchase would not be for a while, but I just had to see some Benzes. To help suffice the loss of my C, they let me test drive an S 550!!

What a beautiful car you all have. Stunning in its stance and quick in its punch. I got all sorts of looks as I was cruising down the West Side Highway.

Just had to get this off my chest as this was the most fun I have had in almost five months.

Bow down to the S 550 and MB Manhattan!
