    Love 500Es! I remember seeing one on the freeway and was trying to catch up to it. Old man driving it was hauling ass, ie driving it like its meant to be driven!

      I have been eyeballing 500e for years. There is one in my neighborhood that some old man DD and parks on the street. Makes me wonder what he has in the garage.

              I think the Evo wheels looked better actually. Either way it's boss looking though.

                  Holy grail Benz IMO. Price reflects that sentiment.

                    OK, after reading you bought a clean AF E500 as well, I hate you now. :P Good job, man! I might pick up a W124 T-model which looks incredibly clean a month from now

                            both cars got to stretch their legs a little a couple of days ago... the M3 is now undergoing some engine work (valve and throttle body adjustment)

                            I also decided to go with amber lights on the 500...
