This is your first car and your first car to ever work on? Not a good vehicle to learn either of those skills with.

This is what I wanted , this is what I what I have to work with , i understand it's an expensive car to own & it's highly advanced but I have never worked on cars so there is no difference to me honestly , I like quality & luxury . So I wasn't willing to sacrifice that , satisfaction & anymore time & money into other vehicles that I really don't see my self ever owning , not saying I don't like other more simple vehicles on the market but I did gravitate towards the expensive luxury cars , I have friends who own Hondas , fords , Chevys , toyotas , turbo cars like the Subaru , one with a Lexus IS 300 , some with Cadillac coupes & older Acuras & bmw coupes , we're not all Rich & our financial & intellectual & intelligent levels are all different , but we all work hard for what we have and want everything take time , I looked around for 2 years sense I was 18 at every car & truck available ,and I decided a few months ago that the w211 e55 AMG was for me . I wanted a rare , highly advanced , over built , luxurious , very reliable & sexy looking car . So all I can do is learn from here on out . like anyone else owning there first car , everything is new to the individual so please all of you here @ the forum help me learn and share your positive thoughts & opinions for all you & I know I can be a natural at this . thanks ! Gunna post a few pics of her tonight !

Welcome! I'm 22 and bought my E55 7 months ago.. The cars are easy and a joy to drive but respect the power. They aren't cheap to repair compared to inferior vehicles and they can scare the **** out of you when the beast is unleashed on a back road. Be careful and enjoy!

Thanks for the safety concern , I realized after some 1/4 mile runs & a full mile run or 2 how powerful & fast this Car is , ESP OFF is a death wish , I'm not a reckless driver I'm always on the side of caution . I have a cousin who served a good amount of time for being responsible for the death of his best friend when he was driving drunk in Oregon when he was 18 , now in his 30s I see how it effected him so I take that as a lesson .
