I know exactly what you mean, I'm starting to feel the slow down, the less enthusiasm to crawl underneath the car. But I'm trying to push through it, I do have this idea, like be true to myself, never stop being the 7 year old kid. Dude when people say they bought a car because of my channel, it gives me energy like I'm a super hero. It means I'm doing something that means something. I'm not reading code or developing new IT crap, someone just got off the couch, stopped walking by a car underneath a cover, stopped trying to figure out what to do with wasted evenings. It's just incredible my man. I want to be that 80 year old guy in a jump suit on a Saturday afternoon still wrenching away. Lol it's a sick romance.

I did notice excellent ride quality also. I went over bumps that i go over in me my CLS with air suspension and I actually liked the 330 better. There was a lot less secondary movement.
How's maintenance been in that cls550?

Believe it or not really low. I had to take it to the dealer to do the front brakes because the pins were frozen and I couldn't get the loose. It was only $747 for front brakes, rotors, and sensors. I do all my oil changes at $75 every 11k. And I had a serpentine belt and pulley go, but that was like $12 belt, $40 pulley. I changed it same day at the parking lot at work. It's been one of the lowest cost of ownership of the vehicles i've had.
Mercedes arent as unreliable as people make them out to be. CLS is a gorgeous car. The second generation biturbo 550 is high on my list.

Yeah man, I love it. I struggle with thinking what to replace it with. They are really under the radar. I would just drive the bi-turbo at lot and use the highway, carbon builds up on the valves otherwise then ur talking money for a head job. My uncle was quoted at $11k, ouch!
