Carlos Mencia drives one

I was just watching MTV Cribs and they were showing Carlos Mencia's crib. Guess what car was on his drive way? He drives a Black '06 E55!

Who is Carlos Mencia and why do we care what he drives?
We all know enough about cars to make our own decision what to drive rather than be swayed by what some MTV'er drives.

By the way at the risk of being flamed i am replacing my 03 E55 with a E63 wagon when it comes off lease. Drove the CLS E63 at the Lime Rock AMG Challenge and was impressed by its acceleration.

With a sig like 1994e500 it makes sense why you don't know who he is....

If you don't know what is comedy central then you probably don't knwo who Mencia is...This is a though gizzer crowd here....

Yeah, that exactly my point. I am sure the guy is richer than 99% of the E55 owners out there. He could have just gotten a Bentley or even a S65. yet, he was bragging how fast his E55 is and how he alway arrives in style on it.

If you really want to talk about the mega rich driving E55's, Kanye West has a blue one, and it is, in fact, his ONLY car.

My NYC people will all agree that its a perfect car for the city, total monster off the line and a comfy ride over the multitude of potholes and road imperfections.

I think Carlos is great he tells it like it is, he's very funny. His show however is no match for Chapelles show, oh well. I was listening to Carlos on Sirius today and he was talking about getting pulled over in his $120,000 CL600 so he may have more than one MB.

I think you are trying to say "thorough geezer crowd", as in the website is awash with a bunch of old codgers.

Gizzer is a young guy who chokes his chicken too much and squirts gizzum in his eyes so he can's see to spell.
