Man I can't believe I read all 18 pages of that I really should have spent that half hour studying, so I assume you drive a 370z NISMO now? What happened with the sale of the E55?
I have to say I empathize with you because I'm an 18 year old student right now with a 57k per year tuition, and with an expensive passion for fast cars. But reading through some of that made me a little ill just with the whole attitude of very little understanding of the damage that had been done and the move to sell it right away without assessing your options, or planning out your future. Hey man I'm the first to say that you should always not judge other people's financial situations and it's none of your business how they got their cars but young guy to young guy, living at home and going to community college you should probably think about priorities. I live at home and still go to school but I also have a business, a savings, and a financial plan. I'm sure you're in a different situation now though, don't mean to come across as judgmental at all, but saving for my future is definitely a priority and even if you drive a nice car at a young age it should always be. You can go from financially smart to financially retarded really quickly in this day and age.
Anyway, even though I was not one of the original members you interacted with here, what's been going on over the past 2 years?? Curious what ended up happening.

Please read the entirety of what I wrote man, I'm not passing judgement I just saw some... interesting if a bit concerning comments, but from two years ago. I have as well. I've worked hard to earn what I have, and I hate how young people often get a bad rep if they have nice cars, so I completely understand. What ended up happening?

I was just reading this whole thread earlier and thought many E55 owners today can learn from this experience I had years ago. So many people chimed in and tried to help me out in my situation, I can only be grateful!

Sup brotha. I got a Jaguar XJL Supercharged now with an upper pulley, full exhaust, and a tune. Made good power on the dyno and drives very good! Jaguar's certified extended warranty is one of the best and the overall quality is spot on. To be honest, this Jag is faster than my old E55. Bigger car but weighs just about the same as the W211 E55 at 4100lbs.
Still miss my AMG though...
