I'm selling the SL... seriously
I get done washing and detailing the SL. It can’t just go back into the garage after a good cleaning, especially on a glorious sunny day so I drop the top and take her out for ride. Not five minutes into the ride, I’m sitting at a red light. This middle aged guy in an older pickup says: Hey how are those on maintenance, I’m thinking about buying one for my mother.
Now I’m gobsmacked so my normal sarcastic a$$ mind can’t come up with a thing to say. Finally, I just comment that maintenance could be a bit high. I can’t even chirp the tires and grab a little WOT because the lane I’m in is stopped as he drives off. I guess the “E” guys might be more use to this kind of thing.

LMAO that would have been perfect.
Hey mf1 my wife and I are going to be in Brussels in July for a couple nights I think. Can't wait to knock back a few pints of Orval. Are you near Brussels?

Eleven,
Bruges in the summer, no doubt. Discover parts of the city that you can only see by taking a boat on the canals.

In the E55, we're not really used to it much because most people have no idea what it is. They just think it's a midsize family car. You usually have to show em some go before they'll mess with ya. Or if your E55 has some carbon fiber pieces on it.

good point. I guess you generally have to initiate things so to speak. After that, the other car is wondering what the hell just blew their doors off.
