My beast is my DD..




Although my spare car is an 02 Chevy S10. I'm gonna change out the shocks on it today. All 4 cost less than the spark plugs for my benz...lol.

Nice S10. You got me beat on the DD then. Only reason I don't DD my beast is because I take public trasnport into the city and dont want her sitting at a park and ride lot all day.

My DD. My wife drives the E55 more than I do.



I drive it year around. With AWD, it's a great snow car.

The Benz is my DD, but my alternate ride is collecting dust in the garage due to spun cam bearings. Here are a few pics of her...

I ran both a S281 and S351 spoiler on my '98 Cobra. All the drag guys seem to remove the spoiler but, I personally love the S351 on them...

Mine is about to get a RAKE too, loll. I am going Mickey Thompson Drags 295/45/17's outback Todd, and dropping the front 1". I am going to finish the exterior off with a '00 Cobra R hood. Cobra struggles for traction with 4.56 gears and those tiny 275 tires.

Thanks...I'm thinking about selling her though cause I just don't use it enough. Once I'm finished installing the Eurocharged package I ordered I plan on putting her up for sale.

LOL...they look like DR's but they are Falken Azenis RT615's. They aren't sticky like DR's but they look awesome and are stickier than what I had before.

You're right, it does look like v6 kompressor. Guess it's the angle and picture size. But to satisfy your curiosity, here's a zoomed in version of the photo

Funny, I've been contemplating on that for a while but can't decide on one.
Oddly enough though, I don't mind the star too much and it gives the gf some indication of where the front of the car ends for those moments parktronic isn't enough

DD = E63.

Was going to sell it to make room for another car I ordered a few months ago. Then realized it really makes for a perfect DD grocery getter and long trip car.

So it will stay, and many miles will be added to it every day until it finally falls apart.

And also debadged to be anonymous in daily driving traffic........
