Driving the E55 wagon is even more hilarious because of its stealth factor. My wife gets all kinds of attention when she drives it. I don't get any attention, but then again, I've got the shaved head (only because I've lost my hair on top), but no gold teeth.

As far as judging an individual by the car one drives and the watches one wears, when I was younger I was told by a VP of a boutique luxury automobile manufacturer that there are two kinds of people in this world - those that fly first class, and those that are born to fly first class. There is in fact actually a 3rd kind of person - those that have their own jet, but that's a different story.

You didn't get it 3 months ago or so did you. I was there when someone with a yellow jacket and Go-tee picked up their black E55 at Zimbrick. I looked at one there and actually drove it. If that is it then...

GREAT looking car. I love that interior color! Congrats! I wish I had it. How fast is it compared to the yellow car in your garage (straight line)?

The E55 would get the hole shot.But after about 4 car lengths the race is over.The Lambo wins easily

If I were driving someone elses Lambo,it would get the hole shot.
My Gallardo is a 6sp and I just wouldn't feel right about revving it up and dropping the clutch.
