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.

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!!
