Nice! Exact same spot too

Those bikes move half of Asia. Always thought that side saddle riding style must take a bit of practice

Buddy of mine picked up a demo 2020 E450 wagon, fairly loaded with AMG wheels, night , premium, tech, and intelligent drive packages, and the air suspension. He had been hoping to find an E53 wagon but an E450 at a ~$20k discount was hard to say no to I guess. He says this will help him justify getting a 911 in a year or two.

Funniest thing is that he's coming from a hand-me-down 2006 RAV4. He was gonna get one of these wagons over a year ago but then they had twins so it was not an option with three young children so he bought a Sienna in the meantime.

I absolutely adore the current (2017+) E-Class. Spectacular vehicle.

I just got my notice that my Sirius contract ends next month and I will be billed $40+ per month for the two vehicles.  Time to make that call and knock it back down to $5 per car per month.

Yeah, the avatar pic was of my friend, the same as his actual facebook avatar, but the name had the number added.  I didn't notice until I had already replied

I didn't bother biting to see how or why I should send him my bank info
