doubt if I'll ever even get a used SL, but I know my next car (if it's a benz) will be an AMG

(I'm still rather smitten over the E55 estate... that's some hotness)

I really liked the E55 wagon as well ... I had a CLS55 AMG for a little while, the V8 Kompressor motor is lots of fun, I really liked the mechanical-ness of the supercharger and it sounded like a *ahem* monster when you stepped on it.  I think I like the V8 Kompressor over the V12 bi-turbo motor of the 65.

Some pics taken along Bear Creek Road in Orinda/Briones area. 



bear creek's a fun little stretch.  kinda bumpy in the banked turns though so it's fun to test suspension on  ;)

There is this one bump inthe pavement when you're coming up the hill (away from Alhambra Valley Rd.) just leaving Briones ... that I remember launching off of.
