I just bought a new car again. I ordered it in November and today I brought it home. Just a nice riding fast car. I need to wait until the break in period to really drive it hard.

Congratulations Brad! Looks very nice indeed.

Last week, I went to Sindelfingen with my son to pick up my new car. There was a great factory tour and lots to see.

Hi Peter, So was the Maybach yours? ;D

No. I think the Chinese picked one...

That would have been a nice tour. I was in Germany at Ramstein Airforce base for 4 years over 20 years ago. At the time I didn't have the money to buy a Mercedes. This may be the most expensive car I ever buy since I plan to retire soon...

I have a 2024 E450 All Terrain. Similar car and drivetrain, but less boost. The midrange torque is quite strong and the sound system is the best I have heard in a car (Becker Europa notwithstanding). I’m not too keen on the haptic controls and some of the other frippery, but a lovely car. The E53 must be a rocket!

I was going to order another E450 but the day I was there to order my salesman friend showed me the E53. When we took it for a ride I was hooked. It was about $11k different in price to the one we were building so I just ordered one anyway. The only thing I'm nervous about is buying tires and brakes. I got the 577HP version since the other has the expensive composite rotors. They will still be a lot anyway.

That is a lot of horsepower, about 200 more than my wagon. Your car must fly! Enjoy it.
