Ramos might be interested.

Many say the 500E handles better than the E55, but jeez they are almost the same money. I know the previous generation E55 without the supercharger is a lot more reliable and a better choice, but visually the car doesn't excite me. The 03+ completely makes me drool, inside and out. As for the AMG badge, it doesn't do anything for me either. I would actually probably de-badge the car as I surely "don't need no stinking badges" I drove the 335 (not the D) but nonetheless I am completely and utterly not interested. BM'er has taken a huge crap the past 5 years and just refuses to make anything that stirs the soul anymore. Boring on the inside and the out It hurts me to say it, but it is true. I'd actually rather have the Lexus ISF than the M3 and I will NOT own a Japanese car. I was in the midst of a lengthy reply when chrome just took a dump on me. Anyway, was saying something along the lines of there are a few things you can do to juice up the elder E55. And for me and the 500E, is motor envy and love of the old world MB's that were not quite Americanized yet. So what about a pre-Bangle 540i, that could be found for your range and it is older then 5 years.

Sean, you know I am biased towards the E55. But if you want, the prior gen E55 has been proven to be just about bullet proof and can be had for about 25-28k, but it does not have as much body work to set it apart from a standard E500. Also, had you considered a used 540i or the up coming 335D? I still want a '93 500E, pretty much an E55 with out an AMG badge on the back.

Big congrats Sean!!! Your life is over as you know it.

I agree with John, what is it that you want to change from the single 12 BL?

Very nice final product!!

Closing, as this thread has served its purpose.

That is a lot of glass work!

Keep the pictures coming.

Wow, sorry to hear the bad news. Question I have is why a pair of 5 channel amps? Or am I reading that wrong...

Not yet, but we hope this week.

You can ask on mbworld.org if you want to talk to real people. Also check the info on http://www.consumerguide.com TU, I searched MB a little but will more. The fail safe is Mercedesshop.com. You can find pretty much everything on there info wise from owners of the vehicles. But it does not have the traffic of MBworld.org.

Ok out for the night battery needs to recharge.

Game is pretty much over. We will never have a short stop of any substance for a while unless we spend money for someone.

They are giving up.

SNF is a lamer game. Blow out. But the good news is the Ravens embarrassed the Browns.

We need to add more videos up.

Cannot believe SMD will pass us in posts. In the last 18 months ROE, DIYma and soon to be SMD will pass us in posts. It is about quality here, but we are a few years older then those sites.

I have seti running so I don't have much battery life left until I have to plug back in.

I jinxed them because I was not wearing my one black O's hat when I turned the game one.
