Disappointed in the E55
I did find all of the owners material that came with the car, the spare key, and todays newspaper. You must be a democrat as you can obviously never admit when you are wrong.
P.S. I don't have a ferrari but at least none of my floors are covered in cheap linoleum.
You're still in school boy.

Linkey to proofey.
You must not know bout me, you must not know bout me.....
HAHAHA wow you are so pathetic you are going to insult my because of the floors in the wash area of the boathouse? How pathetic of you, just as I suspected you derive your self worth from money. Say what you want about me being in school, but at least I dont think I'm better than anyone based on their floor selections LOL.

Be thankful he even lets you around the spare key. The Ferrari isn't around today because dad has it.

There Ferrari is in the garage dumbass, get a life. I've been home sick for a week that's why I'm on the internet. What's your excuse for being a grown man with nothing better to do then try and recover from getting owned by a 20 year old kid.
Your perception of your self worth is so low you feel the need to attack someone you have never met. For what? Because I made a point about a car, that most of the people on this forum will agree with?

The Best of Mercedes & AMG
The E55 is a smooth operator and moves like a bat out of hell for what it is, a full size luxo sedan, but it is not apples to apples to compare it to a turbo Porshe or ferrari.
While i absolutely love my E55, I also agree wit hthe transmission issues he stated. The shifting is slow and IMO the manual shift is pointless as all you do is seand a message to the comp that says shift, evidently is processes the info and then shifts....there is no instant shift. I noticed this on my old benz as well that was an 06' C280 7-speed.
This car is so awesome though I could care less about those details.
And to answer a question posted above, the dealership didn't let me run the car like my neighbor did, as I'm sure you could imagine.
"The reason I am home is because I had back surgery and my boss told me to get out of the office"
"I've been home sick for a week that's why I'm on the internet"
"I left work at 2:53 which I determined from my call logs on my phone"
Hope this helps :-)

Hate to tell ya that they are all like that. It simply is not the same as SMG. If you like SMG or being manual with timing, then the AMGs are not for you.

My E55 snaps off pretty quick upshifts and downshifts at part throttle, but WOT shifts are a bit slow - almost like the ECU is protecting the tranny. I think that my driving style (3rd set of rear tires in 23k miles
) probably contributes to the adaptive tranny doing what I ask of it 
Like Jangy, I use the shift paddles if I'm cruising some twisties and want the tranny to stay in a gear or I want to manually downshift for a corner. I also like manual mode on the highway, avoiding a downshift when accelerating around slower traffic to let the big swell of low end tq in 5th accelerate the car smoothly and quietly.
Otherwise, the shift paddles/buttons are useless.
As far as the car feeling fast - it's quiet and torquey. It has power everywhere on the tach and will destroy most stock cars from a dig. Depending on where you hit it from a roll, the gearing can work against you and put you in a gear that's too high for max acceleration - maybe that's what happened during your test drive?

The reason the newb got called out is simply because the **** didn't smell right. It has nothing to do with his worth or whatever. There are people in here in all income ranges and we have all the respect for one another.
By the way, you never actually proved the E55 to be yours, either and yet you claim it. Sure that ain't mom's car?

All I did was respond to a question posted by another member. At that point two people who have never met me accused me of lying. I responded with proof that I indeed drive/own both of the vehicles I mentioned in my original post.
One poster then decided to argue about the semantics of my post by once again making false allegations and then proceeded to launch a pathetic campaign to prevent acknowledging that he was wrong. I'm sorry my work schedule isn't clear enough for you, I made a mistake in not making it crystal clear so that all of the "troubled" people in the MBWorld police could understand. I will look you in the eye and swear with one hand on the bible that the things I have said in this thread are 100% accurate and to the best of my ability in no way shape or form meant to portray myself in an untruthful way.
So far Cylinder Head has told me I am a liar, insulted my fathers choice for flooring
, misquoted me, made petty attempts to insult me because of the date with which I was born and so on.

That sound fair?
On another note: I do understand the concept of me having a E55 and 599 raises red flags, but honestly what difference does it make. When we go to the yacht clubs people are always spewing out mindless BS, but I was taught to let it go rather than insult people for no reason. Why not let the fools go on their merry way living in denial, who am I to tell them how to live their life? Honestly if someone feels the need to makeup assets to impress people, I feel like they have enough problems without me calling them a liar.
You mentioned respect in this forum, but I was not given any of the respect you mention. I was treated like a liar ad without any reason. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior and honestly if anything that type of posting makes MBworld look like a complete joke. I could go post this thread on F-chat or 6speed and I can pretty much promise you the replies would not be positive towards this forum. Do think I really wanted to start a war? I just tried to answer the guys question the way I hope my questions would be answered.

Here is my real world contribution. Careful of those vicodens. I just had lung surgery, and was taking norcos (vicoden + tylenol) for pain. After just 8 days, I was having withdrawal symptoms when I stopped taking them. Best ween yourself off those things over time. **** is uncomfortable
Read my post, I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to the OP.
