Bought one....WOW!!!!

Picked it up Wednesday in Houston and put 450 miles on it driving home. What a car! My first MB ever and way to many features to learn. Thing is a super sonic brick on glass. Love the Bi-turbo torque. Car is 2012 S550 white with black interrior, PO2 Prem Pkg and AMG Sport Pkg. Dynamic seats are really cool and very welcome but a complete surprise. Getting spoiled quick!

Tire question. On other cars, I have switched the showroom tires for Bridgestones. Continentals look ok but just planning ahead. All comments appreciated by this rookie.

Thanks.
