it does get this cold here in Texas, but that temp was in Illinois, I drove back from Chicago to Houston on thursday.
I've had the car for 8 or 9 months and I've already put 18k miles , can you tell it is my daily driver?

I kind of did, the digi cam was in my bag behind my seat, I wish I would've been able to go faster but there was traffic I was able to hit the speed limiter a few times on the way back to Houston, it is so nice to drive this car at a pace of ~120 smooth, still quiet, it just floats!

envious me - want to go 200 km per hour

Nice speeding.

I wish I could get away with it up here in Seattle.

I have a technical question, if I may.

I noticed the oil pressure indicator to be quite low at this high speed.
I would think that at this speed and rpm the indicator would peak at 3?

Isn't the engine working hard?

That was not the oil pressure, it was the gas indicator

At almost 130 mph I'm seeing 4400 rpm aprox. so you could say the engine is running a little hard, but not too hard . Holding the car at that speed comes very natural for the car, it just floats!

Oh my mistake

After looking closer I see you are right!
On my S500 (-96), that's where the oil pressure is located.

I would love to test drive your car. BTW have you had the opportunity to compare with a E500?
