Do you street-park an S550 in Manhattan? I live in the burbs but am considering the S550 4matic to replace an old Lexus SUV. I park in midtown, on an avenue, on occaision (mostly for monthly weekday night poker games). I'm a little worried about potential minor vandalism (like, jerks key-scratching the length of the car) if I were to streetpark a car as nice as an S550. What do you think?
I never really have problems street parking when it comes to dings and scratches.

The S550/w221 is a big car, but is it too big? 
My buddy is 6'4 165lbs and has an slk and loves it to death. I'm 6'4 215lbs and I've driven that same slk and I can honestly say that it is too small for ME. So, as for the s550 being too big; not for ME, but maybe for others.
park far far away
