99.9% of the time when I get in my car or out my car people give me that surprised look. everyday i wear my gym clothes around during the day and at night well I never dress up. But most of the time someone is always saying how nice the car is. My girl calls my car the grandpa car. hahahaha
^maybe you're just too worried about what people are thinking when they 'look at you'......we're a voyeuristic society you know? and everyone is always sizing up, checking out everyone else

LOL.... people think my S63 is my dad's car. I'm 34 but look mid 20's. I have a lot of older (retired) guys asking questions about my car.
People think I'm in my early 20's and I'm 33, always shocked when I get out especially since it's pretty much impossible to see inside. I think I am going to go a little darker on the windshield...40% is good but in the sun you can just see in. My wife was telling me when we had the expedition out the other day that being in my car so low to the ground and so dark inside is like the batmobile.
Speaking of which....I just bought a new camera....wait until I take some new pictures!

I'm in my late 40's and people think I'm like 20. We're talking maturity age, right?
Anyway, once you get over 40, everything is gonna start to change for you. Your youthful appearance will suddenly disappear, you'll suddenly have more gray than dark hair (yes, even your pubes will start to turn gray), hair will disappear from your head and reappear in lots of other interesting places, like your ears, nose, back, bushier eyebrows, etc. Aches and pains become commonplace, especially if you were athletic when younger, and keeping weight off becomes a battle. You'll also see your strength begin to be zapped. At that moment, you realize that a car like the S-class is finally appropriate for you....and understand why old dudes like to play golf....because it's one of the few remaining sports that you can enjoy playing without breaking a bone.

haha well, I upgraded to 36MP...some of those other shots I posted on here are 13MP and less but the cameras are professional which is why they look so good but I can't wait to shoot with the newer one!
Just came from the car wash and this young woman was there in an S63..pretty nice....the other pic - this guy kept telling whoever was in the car with him to look at my car, he kept pointing, I was laughing out loud literally. This happens all the time, I just finally decided to take a picture.

I love golf!! Been playing for 6 years now.. I still can't break 90 though. I mostly go for some time to myself, have a few drinks, and enjoy the outdoors.
I think I started aging the day I got married.... I should have re-thought that

We should get a bunch of us old **** together for an S-class meet....Chicago sounds like a good centralized location. Then we can all go out to play a round of golf. Lots of top notch courses in the Chicago area.
Thanks, these are OEM version or aftermarkets? The reason I ask is that I hear that the ones on Amazon have an issue with the logos washing off after a few washes?
Nuru, I was at a dealer today and noticed they had these. I compared them side by side to the ones I got from Amazon and they are indeed the EXACT same.

wow, I'm guessing you go RAW? I never do because of the file size, even though I can reduce them ONBOARD the camera lol....I think my 60D is in the 10+ range someplace, maybe more...I should hire a photographer to teach me how to use this thing sheesh

Hyperion: I took this picture this morning as the sun was just coming up. This is the difference the 36mp makes. The actual picture file is crazy big at40mb but I had to shrink it to 10% to upload it here so it loses clarity. I can zoom in on it and see the entire row of cars behind me and the people in the reflection. These pictures can be printed at billboard size...not that I'll ever print that big.

I see an under-badged (by your high standards) S550 in the back ground. I hope you have that guy a proper chewing out and gave him some links on where he can find some extra badges for his car.
