Back in an AMG...

After almost a year of torture, looking for the right one, I finally found my W211 E55 AMG. I cannot believe what a vehicle this thing is, it not only looks incredible, but the torque and horsepower are just insane for a mid-size luxury sedan! I'm done swapping around cars with this bad boy, this is the one I wanted all along, and I finally found one. Here's the breakdown:

'03 E55 AMG
Black on Charcoal
Parktronic
Keyless Go
Panoramic Roof
Solar Panel
Ventilated & Heated Seats
Headlight Washers
Bi-Xenons
Rear Sunshade

Basically, everything except the distronic. It's so perfect, by far the best all around car I've ever owned. I am still in utter disbelief. Everything happened so quickly... my dealership called me, said they took it in on trade over the weekend, I was there on Monday and walked out that night with it.

Here's the obligatory first pic... my camera's battery died so I haven't had a chance to take any good pictures yet.



It feels really good to be back... now how about that Evosport Stage I ? :v
