drove my friend's e63 AMG yesterday

[ginkof]

so i found one of my friend's doing some mild day drinking yesterday at the restaurant i work at to beat the crazy heat in the Northeast. We start getting to talking about cars (of course) and he pulls out his keys and tells me to take it for a ride. I ran out of there so fast with a huge smile on my face. All i have to say is holy crap that thing can move. i was at a rolling 6 during one of my pulls, mash the throttle, tranny shifts down 2 gears and the traction control starts blinking from the rear tires breaking loose. There is a very straight stretch of road near my work and before i knew it i was doing 150+ mph and it wanted to keep on going... and damn do those brakes work! So 2 complaints on the car... the upshifts on the automatic tranny are to noticeable, but my friend says its in a "sport mode" once you touch the paddle shifters and it stays that way until you put it back in normal driving mode. Second complaint is that i dont have $95,000 to buy one... some day!
