Whos Silver E55 with HRE's in Anaheim Hills? Let wife drive?

I just watched a lady in a E55 W211 Silver black do a first to second gear FULL SMOKE BURNOUT. I then looked and it was a blond lady with a ball cap on. Red I believe? Santa Ana Canyon Road and Imperial Hwy area.

WHO LET THERE WIFE DRIVE THE e55 TODAY? Check the rear wheel wells for rubber.

Way to go, MBH. I was going to ask the same question!

There's something to be said when you pull up to the light next to a serious car and find that it's a woman. I ALWAYS smile -- doesn't matter who it is.

Here in LA, you see Ferraris, Porsches, Aston Martins all the time. To see them driven by a woman (and believing that she understands the power she's driving), you have to tip your hat and say

"You go, gurl!"

Only hot girls do burnouts, so I'm guess-timating that she was indeed, a hottie.

My wife just graduated from a 12 second Grand National to an E55. And believe me, if you pull up next to her at a light she'll go head to head with just about anything. She loves performance. When we went car hunting and she test drove the E55 there was no changing her mind. Thank God!! And every once in a while, I get to drive it!

Our E55 is the wife's car. I hope she's not doing any burnouts with the baby in the car...

Perhaps that explains why these women take off so quickly when the light turns green. . .

E55
A “Full smoke burnout” indicates it was left in Dyno mode. I suggest the old man take it out of dyno mode before letting the wife/girl friend drive. Next time it could be a “full smoke spin out (of control).
