New Ride

Still have the 150 but i think it will be a while til i driver her again.
I've been out playing tonight a lil in my new wheels. 10 miles total on her.
Parents brought her home from the dealership tonight. Too bad it poured rain the whole way home.

Now i get to go have it washed:santa:

I was driving a bmw 645i tonight, I love it. It's fantastically fast, I am not sure if there is a big difference between the 745i and this, but the 645 actually felt a little quicker. These things are fast, the Jag v8's (4.0/4.2) are ok, and the bentley's I have yet to drive. I work at a dealership as a detailer and they have all sorts of vehicles...right now a Ford GT is sitting next to me as I work, in the shop. I work alone and it's so tempting to start that sucker up, I can't imagine a 0-60 in under 4 seconds...I hope it needs gas tomorrow What did you pay for the car if you don't mind me asking.

Can we get some performance specs on that sadies! I think the reason these luxury v8's feel so fast is because you dont' hear the engine whining very much or trying so hard and it's a very smooth but firm pull as it accelerates...very quickly I might add.

I find it funny how these cars come with gloves by your spare tire

ive been lookin at stuff bout it all night. lol

I like the 645 too except for the rear end of it.
The CLS is a niche car in between a E class and S class.

The 7 speed is a dream its so smooth and crisp. Im happy to finally have power at 45 mph. The most amazing thing is when you fly by 80mph their is abosolutley no shift whatsoever,(there is actually) but you cant tell at all its sails right through the shift. It handles like a dream and the adjustable air suspension is kool to play with.

I dont know how much it cost honestly. The only thing it doesnt have is the AMG look wheels wich i dont particulary like.

it doesnt have a spare instead it has run flats.

Now ive got 53 miles on it lol. This thing is incredible. Cant wait till i can actually stand on the gas.....have to keep it below 90 and 4k rpms till 500 miles lol

The fastest car ive ever been is is my parents Gallardo dang that thing is bad. It just keeps going and going harder and harder but i dont get to drive that very often lol.

The new M5 is an incredible car but i sure wasnt gonna get one of those lol. My dad was considering one after he totalled his porsche.

Now my dad wants a CLS 63 AMG since hes driven mine around a bit.

Pretty cool.

Yeah, I work at a Mercedes Plant in Vance, AL. We make the M, R, and GL Class. I noticed you said that your car only had 10 miles on it?? That's very strange. Our cars when they leave the factory, usually have at least 50 or so miles on them.

This mileage is due to all the testing that we put the vehicles through on the end of the line. I don't think I have ever seen a vehicle go to the shipping line with less than 30 miles on it. I know that I have never seen one go to the shipping line with 10 miles on it. I've seen some vehicles come through that have as much as 100 miles on them.

Must of got a rare bird. Hope you enjoy it!

So let me get this straight...you're 18 years old and have a new F150 and you have this new Benz, your dad has a Galardo, had a Porshce and wrecked it, so now he wants a new CLS? Is the new Benz you are posting about yours, or is it Dads and you just get to drive it? I'm not flaming here....Just want to get the story straight and see if your parents want to adopt me
