Saw a beautiful S550 today

This was also my first time seeing it in person. The sexiest MB ever.

We were at someone's house down the street at the more-upscale part of the block, and my dad was talking to them, while I just stood there bored.

Well, my boredom ended when I saw...nope not the S550 yet, but a silver W210 E55 AMG. Sweet exhaust note. Hot chick sitting next to the driver too.  I don't recall seeing them before, they were probably just visiting I guess.

Well, after that I became bored again. 5 minutes later, a heard a car coming down the street, the tire noise was quiet, which surprised me, and I heard a distinct exhaust note, and the quietest engine ever.

And to my surprise, yup a brand new White S550 (sorry not AMG Package NevadaJack). It had like those 11 wide-spoke rims. The window tint was kind of silvery reflective, but not dark at all. I kept staring at it as it went down the street further until it made a right turn.

Sorry no pics, I didn't bring my camera with me. I have made it a habit of bringing my camera for events like this, but the one time I didn't bring it, I just happen to see a new S550. :banghead:

The tint looks normal to me now that I've seen other pics. It looks really nice! I think it looks better than the black tint on the other cars.

The CEO of Oil company Shell uses the W221 S350. The only one in the country. The W220 is still for sale in MB showroom.

Lucky him. What I don't get is, how come I've never seen it before. The couple only live down the street from us.

I guess they are just trying to sell off all the old models. Not to mention the inflated prices in Brunei.

Yea. But it's too expensive too upgrade it all especially when it's a 600 series. I can gurentee even in 7-8 years time , the W140 is still use by Bru Govt. Some W126 is still being use!

The Launch Edition interiors are soooo nice.

I may have seen it wrong, but it when stopped, the bottom half of the tail lights lit up, rather than the usual upper half. Did I see this correctly?
