My boss got a new car

2007 S65 AMG!

Custom paint, all options.

Took me for a 'test ride'

130mph listening to Pink Floyd 'Learning to Fly'

Holy fucking fucking fucking shit guys I had to share:

And to avoid the Water-S Syndrome:

Yeah, that's Ray Catena, it's a badge of pride around here to buy from there, status symbol you might say. I have to say that after rocketting in that S65 my definition of luxury & power are completely rewritten. V-Fucking-12 Bi Turbo, seriously, the damn thing was like a Z06.

Ray Catena is actually a very good dealer, great reputation........they do the right thing.

The S65 will run over $200k with tax.

Its not like they exactly carry shitty lines. Aston Martin, Porsche, Jaguar, Lexus, Mercedes and Infiniti.

Yeah, figured he probably paid slightly over MSRP.....most of the 1st cars seem to be getting a Kia premium.

Yes, hello there my friend.........we certainly need to discuss.

I noticed the dealer stamp too... For the price of that thing, and the price of the custom paint alone(if it is that nano paint), Id want the dealer posting a video hidden in his commercial of him shoving that stamp right up his arse.

Oh man, if there is ever karma, dissing a brand new S65 from Ray Catena is gonna screw you over something fierce.

I would have picked a softer target, like, a Saturn dealer in Ohio.

Holy poopie cock, that car is sexy!!

I don't like the "standard" '07 S550 (I love the previous generation S-class though). It's amazing what a nice front air dam, AMG wheels, quad exhaust, and knowing that "V12 biturbo" is written the side of the car can do for the way it looks. Simply amazing!!
