HEY!

I love Classic Rock!!

Other music on my I-pod... Alternative/Punk/Rock/Hip-Hop/Rap and yes... even some country music...

I pretty much listen to everything.

My friends laugh at me cause in 15 mins I go from Justin Timberlake to Garth Brooks, then a little James Taylor and John Denver and end it with some Akon and Diddy!

It's worthless. It's literally impossibe to look at it and drive down the road. The only thing it's good for is for bragging and turning it on at night so people look at you.

nightvision IS very useful- just need to use it in the right context. if driving in town with lots of other cars, not especially helpful, but on rural roads where we have frequent deer, it can literally be a lifesaver.

What I meant was, it's worthless 99% of the time. I can see how it would work on a road in the mountains where you could hit a deer or something...

I thought everyone might enjoy this snapshot from my S65, I have had it up to about 180MPH next to the CGT, but no pictures to prove that one.

Utah drivers are nice!!! I love the fact they actually get out of the way in the passing lane...Funny not even the FORD pickup tried to pull on you LOL. You have an airplane that flys low and is 1000% more comfy. AWESOME VID and Jim Croche rules...

Can someone explain why a S65 has a 130mph limiter and not 155?

It is limited @ 155, but I was coming into a bend so 130 was the fastest I was able to go... I've had it up to 145 before with no traffic around.

Hers is black on black, mine is obsidian black on black. Definitely will take a picture, maybe I should also get my dads obsidian black sl55 and my sisters limited edition obsidian black gl450 with the stock 20's in the pic. The matte blonde wood in the gl is truly the best wood I have ever seen in a car. What can I say, it is an MB family.

Awesome videos. I love looking over the star when driving. The S65 must make you feel like the king of the world. So much power, luxury and technology, looks like NASA in there!
