I take the long way to work now...

I just picked up my E55 a week or so ago and the car is so damn fun. She is all stock right now but I have been looking on the boards for wheels and other mods, the usual stuff. Anyway, I live pretty close to my company and dont even have to drive, but I find myself taking the round about way to work now days. Granted, I cant drive 100 around here but every time I put my foot into it and here the growl of the exhaust and get up to the speed limit in no time at all I get a stupid grin on my face. Then I get out, lock the car and do triple takes to admire that teal color with orange-ish tint to it. What is that color by the way? I swear it changes colors depending on the time of day. It looks beautiful in the sunset. She is a few years old and to be honest there are a few little things I need to do for her to make the car cosmetically perfect, but she is perfect where it counts, in that AMG engine and tranny!
Sorry for the ramble but I had to share that with someone. AMG
