S55 sighting. Newport Beach, CA

I have seen the same S55 numerous times over the last few days. It's absolutely breathtaking. It's silver with black rims and grills. I was about to take a picture of it today but it took off before I could get out my camera phone.
Does it belong to anybody on here?

S55? you are on the wrong section of the forum. but have you ever seen a fixed up SL55? you might like it a little more than the S55.

2004 S55 Graphite Designo
You may see me driving around, i live in Huntington and am in Newps all the time. Just picked up a 2004 S55 Graphite Designo from Fletcher Jones a couple weeks ago. All i have had time to do so far is et smoked bumper lights and get some blue headlight turn signals. Tint is on the way, along with 10,000k HID's and rims. The rims will prove to be the hardest choice of my life, there are about 10 types i'm looking at right now. Probably a chip and some other stuff to come as well. It's going into service for a list of stuff, all minor except the transmission probably needs some service.

Look out for me!

Why mess up a beautiful car like that...
It does not belong in East LA OK? I mean blue headlight turn signals and smoked bumber lights?? Why not just get a chain steering wheel too...

2004 S55 Graphite Designo
you are a pretty funny guy! i bet you still have orange bumper lights too. it's ok, i won't laugh and point if i ever see ya. i'll post some pics and after tht i'll let you know where to get some. as for the blue turn sigs in the headlights, i'm not sure if i like them yet, but everyone who has seen them is a huge fan. what good is a car if you can't mess with it? kinda makes all these posts about mods and other stuff seem kinda silly. and AMG in general kinda silly, or Brabus, Renntech, Kleeman kinda silly for that matter. it's kinda sad that all those aftermarket vendors are messin up a whole lot of beautiful cars like we have. and i do have a chain steering wheel on order, it's getting the shifter buttons put on it right now

I think Mercedes prices the S55 over $110,000 so that East LA residents (like you) cannot buy them. Unless they are salvaged..LOL

Hey I saw a great 1965 Impala in Autotrader for you to modify with your stupid blue lights and chain wheel...as for smoked lightsyou can just tag them with your spray can ese'

PLEASE you do not belong here!!!


Adios amigo

2004 S55 Graphite Designo
actually i got it from Fletcher Jones. last year i had a deposit on an 06 M5 and i accepted an offer to buy my slot. as far as i know there were only a hlaf dozen comming into this area and i had one, so i took 15k for my 10k deposit. the mark-up was crazy anyways. i know a few of the high up's at FJ and when i saw this car it just made the M5 sitting next to it look like a toy. the graphite designo just clinched it, not to mention every single option available is on this particular car. just curious, have you ever owned a designo model? they really are quite nice...

and i don't know who ClayJ is. i'm Vince Carter. you might have heard of me. i just turned 28 and i DJ at underground raves in and around LA and Hollywood. i don't drink and i don't smoke. i'm in the mortgage biz [big suprise there] and i have 7500 sq ft of Class A office space across the street from John Wayne. i have 40 employees and i watch jets land all day. i'm also a pilot.

check out some house music:

so know you know a bit about me. if you want to proceed as an assclown that is your choice. i'm having fun with life and i just bought an insane machine of a car.

odelay east el a!

2004 S55 Graphite Designo
wow you got some anger issues. i'm not sure if i have ever talked any ****, you can read the posts above and see that. i'm just introducing myself over here.

just to clarify, becase i don't think that any of us would be in this forum if we did not enjoy some fairly decent success. i found some guy's that were very successfull and learned everything i could to get where i am today. so here is a bit of my story...

some college, SDSU.

i own the company. this is my 3rd company i have built in 4 years. i have grown bigger with every move. i started in 2200 square feet, moved to 4000, and finaly i now have 7500 square feet. i am growing everyday. i just put in 30 more cubes, making the total 70. i am a sub-prime broker shop and i did $275,000 in gross revenue last month. how much did you do BUTCHEN? it's kinda funny you are knocking the Real Estate industry when your profile says you are a Mortgage Broker.

4 years ago i was a **** hot loan officer. i turned an Eclipse Spyder 2.0L Turbo into a 400+ HP beast of a topless race car. i spent well over 20k in a matter of months. i became a forced induction scholar. it was fun and loud. Blow Off Valves are cool. boosting 25psi is cool. i had 2 engine fires, not cool, along with way too many speeding tickets.

i'm not sure why you are so angry. life is great! we drive cars with engines that are hand made! relax a little!
