I rolled up to the PAA meet in an S500.....overpriced, not the most exciting to drive, but quick. I do like Benz's overall though.
This is it what I'm looking forward to

What! The s500 is yours???? FAWK! What time did yo leave???? Ugh. Yeah, definetly not a sports car but it's about as pimp as you can get without buying a Bentley
Even then i still like the benz exterior over the Bentley. If I could just do an interior swap.....which i'm sure i could if had enough money to buy and s500. I agree the car is a bit over priced. IF the car had a bigger engine with like 400hp/400trq it would be well worth it. I sat in one at the car show. The interior is, eh, but that kind of crap can be fixed

s500
355/391 + 18%= 291/320
That's nearly 8.4:1 power to weight ratio....on a 4000lbs car.
We have 7.4 on a stock cls. You could get 8.4 on a fully modded cls but even then. The torque on the car will simply out pull us in the beginning and then the horsepower takes over. We might stay close depending on the final drive ratio as mercedes are usually gear pretty low to provide optimal highway power. But if you had to make a bet I'd wouldn't chose the CLS

It's nice, but I think it's a little too big. And over priced. For less you can get the E55 AMG which gives you better performance, but a little less space.

Not much. These are the first CD's i've bought in a LONG time. I got sick of getting shitty versions and bad rip jobs. Eh, i'm not too into vocals. I have a couple of Prodigy CD's. They are techno correct?

I was wondering when somebody would say something. Anyway, I was heading up to my womans parent's place in allentown and we take 309 N. I'm about 15mins away from q-town so we can meet whenever. Weekends are better for me but we can arrange a time during the week. Just let me know when you want to meet!!
