Unexpected visitor....

So I get home today after work and notice this strange ass car in my driveway. Cant pull in the garage because Im blocked out so I get out all pissed and wonder who the hell it is.

Back doors open so I walk in and theres mom and pops wanting to show off the retired life and my dads new ride. Im still more than a LITTLE F*CKING SHOCKED so Ill just let yall take a look....

I have driven fast cars, but there is nothing that describes this. Putting the gas down 1/4 of the way feels like mine floored. I cant even imagine what the SLR or SL65 is like.

That's a nice car....I saw this old couple with MATCHING SL55s when I took my car for service!

Get some Evosport mods and you can give your dad a good run.

I asked him about those because I am leaning towards these for the C. He looked at both but said too many people in Atlanta area have them which pushed him to the Lorinsers.

Happened to me with my dad that first year the Nissan 300zx twin turbo came out...with the new body style (years ago tho). Quite distressing when I was only driving a Daytona.

My dad has the same ride...but its silver. SL55 AMG. Also probably my favorite car in the world. Thing is a monster and SO beautiful.

You put the top down in that and just cruise.....nothing like it.

All it needs is a lowering module, Brabus makes one.
