Awesome! Was at Mohegan on Saturday night and came across a broken down Gray 06 E55 on the property. He pointed at my car and looked confused. Was wondering if it was anyone on here

Here is another pic...
I was pretty impressed with the E's performance during this event. We did 1100ish miles for the weekend. It was no suprise at the car's ability to gobble up pavement on the highway, but when we got in to the mountain, in sport 2 mode, the car was able to carve the mountain roads compared to some of the other vehicles in the event. Of Course the Lotus, Porsche and miatas def gave the car a good wooping till we found some straight road.
Our car had 3 passengers, and what seemed like 1000lbs of luggage... Mostly because of the female I brought on the trip. What I found to be the most amazing thing about the E on this trip? That the car performs the same whether its empty or fully loaded with passengers and luggage. Its a testement to the engineers at MB/AMG that consistency was such a big goal!
I did have some issues however... I had a fog light blow out, and got a warning for a side marker bulb going out... I also discovered that bugs like white cars... and the Northern New England flying insect population is much smaller now, then when we began on Friday.
For those interested... I ran an escort 9500 window mounted radar detector, as well as a Cobra CB Radio and hand held Police Scanner programmed for the states we were traveling through. Car also got lowered via Star and recieved an alignment on Tuesday...
