S63, I'm Backkkkk !!!

Okay, for those of you who don't know my story. I traded a 1999 360 Modena for a 2007 S600, then missing the sportiness of a 2 seater, I traded that for a 2007 SL55 and a GL450. Once again not satisfied and missing my Ferrari, I got rid of the SL55 for a 2002 Ferrari 360 F1 Spider and couldn't be happier, except for the fact that I missed my S-class and my AMG So I just purchased..... drum roll please .......... a 2008 S63 black on black (piano laquer trim) with the rare performance package - light alloy 20" rims and high performance tires with the top speed delimited up to 186 miles per hour. I will be picking it up tommorow or the day after and will post pics soon.

What do you mean? Are you kidding me? of Course it won't, I still have my 360. I got rid of a GL450 and got the S63. I already learned that lesson when I traded my previous 360 for an SL55.
Pics are coming soon. I was pissed off because I picked it up today, and as soon as they put the plate on, It started raining and has been raining ever since. So the car is filthy. As soon as I clean it up, I will post pics.

I envy your appetite. Right now, I just want a fast car. But I hope someday I would want, and have the funds to afford, a nice stable of exotic vehicles.

That's the way to go............ You are very, very smart

Ferrari Spider and MB Sedan... I just went with the more depreciated versions as I hate to purchase depreciating assets.

Have fun driving! If you are like me, it's fun to go to the garage and decide what I want to drive for what occasion.

Oh, I am sorry for sounding excited, I know you agree with me about the Ferrari. Only a Ferrari guy would relate

Pics are on a new thread.
