But I'm sure you'll neglect to hit the "Power" button.

This is also a time where you wish there was a P200 button

I just bought an 04 e55 two weeks ago and I am letting everyone drive it. Probably not a smart decision, but I am so excited that I want my buddies to see what this car can do.

I either do that or scare the crap out of her with S6, P500S and EDC Sport. Wheels slipping as the 2-3shift bangs in- the little thing won't want to get it out of first gear.

Bullet Tooth Tony, I'm gonna say that's probably where you got your name from eh?

The only track he listened to in the movie was "Lucky Star" by Madonna, which was both funny and ironic. Lesson over.

I'm completely embarrassed to say that anyone knew more about this movie than me. You are right about the name. Lesson learned.

I only let certain people drive my car. The VRP Crew is some of them. Hell, Victor and Vadim built it, so they can take it out when ever they want it. Hey double V, it's unlocked and the keys are in it! Tear it up!!

Depends on the individual. I have a mate with a 599 Fiorano and all the boys have taken it for a spin.
With mine. Take it for a spin with me riding shot gun - yes. Take it for the weekend - No. Also friends with have nice rides are expected to return the favour.

CTS-V 2013 Wagon
My close friend Jeff works at a body shop and after fixing a scrape in my F150 he returned it to my house, opened the garage door and found my newly purchased S55 sitting in the garage. I wasn't home and didn't know he was dropping my truck off. I got a phone call from him telling me how great the car was and how he couldn't believe how fast it was. He was on his cell phone cranking around in my car. Bottom line is it is just metal and a machine and my competent friends are welcome to anything I have except the wife.

Hey why don't you respond to my PM??

You're a funny guy. I will take pics of my Imaginary car and post them on here for every one to view. I responded to your PM.
Thanks for all the feedback all!
