We may have found an odd replacement for the E55

Whodathunk I'd ever buy a pickup?

The all-new, twin-turbo, intercooled DOHC 24-valve, high-output 3.5L EcoBoost® with direct fuel injection will deliver more power than the previous 6.2L V8 – 450 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission with manual-shifting mode sends that power to all four wheels.

And the all-new Terrain Management System™ allows the driver to select from six preset modes to optimize driving dynamics to environmental conditions. Available settings include street, Baja, mud and sand.

Deposit has been placed, but who knows when it will be built... the waiting begins!

4 years of ownership...

Amazing it's been 4 years that we've owned our E55 AMG!  Love this car...

Time to replace burned out bulbs with LEDs

One of my license plate bulbs burned out, so I figured I would upgrade to LED so it never happens again in the lifetime that I own the vehicle...

I contacted one of my favorite vendors AZNOptics - and got new city lights (194) and new festoon LEDs for the license plates.

Here are a few pics of the LEDs - error free, CAN-BUS approved :D 

The festoon bulb on the left is a single CREE LED - amazingly bright for a single LED. Snaps into place into the clips.

Here's the result! amazingly bright!

Same for the city lights - check this new design out!

...and the result!

Highly recommended - very bright (not blinding) and should last years!
