So, here is my new (to me) car! '05 E55

I finally got to take a couple of pics. The weather hasn't been great, so the car's dirty, but it doesn't show too badly on this color.

I got the alignment done and it's straight as an arrow now. I also had them turn off the key reminder beep... man I hated that beep.

This car is awesome!!!!

BTW, on my way back to the office, I had a 2002-04 996 C2 mess around w/ me. It was pretty funny how not even close it was. And that includes a nice long left hand sweeper.

Thanks guys.
The pics were taken on top of a garage on 1100 Smith in downtown Houston.

This thread may be fun to read too. Notice the location of the pics.

Why?
They'll never notice an ASP pulley. You need the extra 50rwhp and 80lbs of torque!

Oh wow. Well...

Now you got may attention.

When it comes down to it, I just haven't looked into mod options and cost, etc.

Tell me about this pulley?

Very nice color choice. I might have to check out that garage sometime. Last time security kicked me out of the SL Town Center garage.

I might wait a week or so and get a new lens. Wanna go shooting?

Thanks guys. I like this color a lot, and yes, in the sun it would look a lot better.

I don't know what mod I will do if any in the short term. I plan to drive as is for a while at least, then when it doesn't feel fast anymore, I'll look at a mod or 2.

Newton, what lens? I shot this with a Nikon D50 using my 24-120 VR.
We can go take pics, sure.

Kevin, this is a different car than the one that had the steering wheel off center. This car was a better car, and it didn't have anything that concerned me like the other car did. I also learned that the 1st car did not have Dynamic seats and that was enough to make me walk away.
