New S65

Will I was up in DC this weekend for thanksgiving and went to the shop that does my cars and another customer was hanging out up there and had his new S65 there he told me I had to take it for a a spin and all I can say is Wow. That thing is just wicked fast and handling is really really good. For a four door luxury sedan it was very impressive.

I am glad you enjoyed the "spin" but it would be a cold day in hell before I would offer my new $182K car to a stanger (even a known friend) for a test drive. Did he accompany you or did he just throw you the keys and say "Here, take it for a spin..."

All I can say is WOW...

He came with me. He kept telling me to get on it pretty much the whole ride. Everytime we would come up to a soft turn he would tell me to slam it down that car could take it without any problem it hardly even leaned.
