I actually parked the wagon next to a dark grey sedan on the 2nd floor of the C5/C6 parking garage a few weeks ago...... and then a black sedan with black tinted windows decided to play around with me on Rt 101 between Tempe and Chandler earlier this week.

I wish I could have played around a bit more but traffic was heavier than I'd like and I had some passengers in the car... maybe next time!

A black e55? Could be someone I know. He's an older gentleman? Basically stock but very clean?

E55
I own a silver E55 with dark windows as well as a few other cosmetic mods and had an E55 wagon come up to me on the 101 last Saturday night. Had a couple of little fun bursts but traffic was definitely too heavy to line them up. I am assuming that wasn't you since you mentioned the E55 you ran into being black. My wife thought that it was cool to see a 500 hp wagon, as I have been telling her it can do everything her van can do and then some Maybe it is time to trade the Odyssey in for an E55 or E63 wagon!

Hah! I bet that was me! I probably just got the color wrong. It was dark. Did you make it up to the cars and coffee meet? I thought I saw the car there but I didn't actually see the owner.

I bought the car specifically to avoid having to buy a minivan!

I once in a while see other AMG's, but I haven't had the pleasure of seeing what's what.

Actually, I have terrible luck getting anyone to run. I was next to a GTR going about 85mph in Mexico for a couple of miles and the guy wanted nothing to do with me. Oh well...
