You know you drive an E55 when...

Hey guys,

I've seen these threads on many other forums and always get a good laugh out of some of the responses... let me start it off (I know, not the best...):

... you try to resist the urge to nail the throttle merging on highway because wife is in the car but you do it anyway and get yelled at

... you drive around with a stupid grin on your face because you know that if you press the gas pedal a little more you'll blow past everyone on the road.

You know you drive an E55...
...when women want to be with you and men want to be you.
...when drivers of Audis and other lesser automobiles weep uncontrollably at your arrival.
...when you go to the dealer to get parts and also get humped in the butt dry.
...when you start sweating in your car in the middle of summer because the A/C kinda sucks for a car of this caliber.
...when WTF is that gas smell? I just replaced the fu*king fuel pump!
...when suddenly CEL!
...when you use other GPS navigation devices because the stock one sucks.
...when you don't give a S.H.I.T. about the A/C, weak audio, or crappy nav because you're driving the automotive equivalent of Hulk Hogan in a tuxedo.
...when you see a flashing yellow triangle on a highway pull.

Look for the brakes and exhaust on every E class that rolls by...,

Scoff at the AMG badge being used sacrilegiously...

My car has keyless go, when I drive my truck I pull the door handle a good 4 or 5 times be before I figure out that its not going to open without using the key fob.

When you're sad bc so many of these are negative.....

When your smile is proportional to your right foot pedal travel....

When you remind girls that panties drop with torque not horsepower...
