Good people on this board - shout out to DVC

Just a little shout out to DVC...who may be one of the nicest most humble guys I've met in a while...who drove several hours today and snagged my bumper.

The guy is just an all around nice guy. Pretty new to his 55 and so psyched about it.

Pretty much everyone I've met in person off of this board is top-notch and stand up.

And he has a sick F150 Lightning. That has me thinking that I need to grab one of those to haul stuff. :-)

Thank you pullejo! I was coming here to post the same thing!

It really improves the ownership experience of this incredible car when there are great people like you guys in the community.

Guys, I am still in awe of pullejo's Beast!!! As amazing as this car looks in pictures, the pics do NOT do it justice. There is something about the flint grey against the black CLS wheels that is indescribable goodness. The E63 conversion takes it to a whole new level! I cannot stop staring at this car

I desperately wanted to here this exhaust setup in person. WOW!!!! It starts up nice and mellow, with just a hint of growl. Very subdued with a killer tone, and would seem as easy to live with as stock.

Then, all of a sudden, he opens the cutouts.....the earth stopped SPINNING!!!!

MUST have this setup ASAP. I live for the day I can open my own cutouts and see the look in the victim's eyes. There's no way that sound can come from a Mercedes sedan LOL! I called the wife as soon as I left and told her no arguments, this is the direction of my E55.

pullejo is an awesome E55 brother and amazing to deal with.

Yeah...the earth does kind of stop spinning when you've got a wide open 55 growling at you, doesn't it? I love that switch...it has been labeled the "angry button" by my girlfriend because every time I flip it...she knows someone somewhere is going to get angry at me. He he.

That was a great read. It's always fun meeting up in person with fellow enthusiasts. Speaking of which are you two gonna make it next Saturday? I wanna see John's car so bad after the E55 conversion. Last time I saw it in person was the star grill days so I'm sure I'm in for a shock
