Quick W211 E55 Photo Shoot (56K NO)

Was in the city late last night, streets were empty, so I took advantage and decided to take a few shots. Chicago's beautiful skyline / architecture did most of the work. I don't have a fancy digicam, just an old school Canon S50 that stays in the car with me for when I need it.

Enjoy...

My man just says "Eff it" and stops the car in the middle of the street and starts snapping pics. Love it.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. I know the car is a bit dirty, and I didn't use the correct light correction, but like I said this was all very impromptu. As you can tell, I didn't have all the time in the world to setup for these shots

For what it's worth, I have stock wheels on for snow tires, and yes, I will be getting rid of the hood star for a flat hood badge. It's already here, just have to install it. I also will be throwing on Kleemann mufflers this week as well. I am just so pleased at how this car has turned out so far, and how well it runs. The car "fits" so well in these city shots, whether it's down some dark alley or parked in front of a 5-star hotel. The W211 AMGs are just gorgeous cars, even when they look as stockish as mine does in these shots (ignoring the fact that it's lowered/tinted)

To answer a few questions:

The pictures are mostly in the loop, on LaSalle and the last few shots were on Wacker. Some may recongize the first picture as the exact same place where The Joker flips his semi-truck in The Dark Knight.

I do have a heat exchanger, it's listed in my sig.

Looks great! I would have left my parking lights on to go with the city lights. What kind of HE do you have? Looks huge!

Nice pictures! I love Chicago at night. Quite possibly one of the nicest skylines in America.

Marcus could you describe the shots for me?? I'm having trouble seeing them with my Prodigy connection even though I connected at 14,400 up from the usual 9,600...
