So how many E55s are in the Midwest Area (Chicago Area)

Everytime I'm on the road the most seen AMG car here is a E55, I wonder to myself how many of the guys driving are MBWorld members. Check in if you own a E55 and are in the Chicagoland area or even in the Midwest area.

Please tell us what you drive (color and any mods) and what area you are from.

Yeah, I'm always driving around 83/Fontage/Madison in the little industrial area there, by Corvette Mikes. I've seen another E55 on Frontage a couple of times, might have been you.

Hinsdale used to be known as 'The Land of Porsche'... sounds like it's E55 on I55 nowdays. I used to live right off the Kingery and 55 back in my Audi and BMW days.

El Famous... Papa Passero's... Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket... Home Run Inn... Giordano's... Bernard's... Maxwell's Red Hots... And a Portillo's nowadays... You guys don't know how good ya got it round there.

Great place to live from June 1st through Nov. 1st

I'll be back home on 10-1 for the Bears - Panthers game and hopefully to see the Sox in the playoffs.

Go Bears!

I'm not part of the in crowd with an '07 63. By the way where does everyone get their maintenance done if you don't do it yourself?
