Guess how many E55's there were in one parking lot at the mall.

I pulled up to the parking lot near the food court (the most popular of about 10 parking lots) at the Gardens Mall this afternoon and while looking for a parking spot for the Vette, I passed 3 E55's (one silver, one black, one obsidian black). My wife then pulled up with the kids in her Capri Blue E55. 4 W211 E55's in one lot. This is quite an area for car watching. It almost rivals southern California.

I've seen scores of high-end cars at the Gardens Mall lot before, but never more than 1 of the same kind. Maybe you were just there at the right time. :p

That's crazy, though. I, for one was not at the mall today so count me out of the list.

I've seen 1 E55 (not counting mine) in the last 3 months here in St. Louis. I think I know where all the money is!

South Florida has a nasty habit of watering down the exclusivity factor of any high end car

Couldn't agree more. The Palm Beach in general is littered with every kind of brand ever existed.

I pulled into Publix in little Vero Beach last Fri. and came across this.

For those deciding between brilliant silver and black (two great choices I might add) I think this pic states my case well.

P.S. This also shows why tinting is a must.

Talking

Love the way the 55's are at the end of the lot.

If you ever see a super clean black CLK500 parked in the farthest space from humanity at the mall...it's mine.

I would flip out if I saw two E55's together! It kinda sucks that I don't see that many around here, as I don't have anyone to meet up with to talk cars.
