Summer’s here - Car wash day

Sorry guys no bikini girls, just the cars. Using the Karcher washer makes the car washing so much fun. Woke up, felt good, weather bit cloudy so went to work and decided to wash the 911. Still had some foam leftover so pulled out the 55 and washed that too.

Are those Kinesis wheels on the 964? And is that an RS America?

Oops, looks like a 3.3 Turbo? How do you like that? Seems like a sweet spot of the 964, not as silly as 3.6's and still plenty potent.

Tried to talk my wife into putting on her bikini and washing my 993.....birthday is coming so it seemed like a fair request.....shut down dammit.....said I'm an ass. She probably has a point but you can't blame me for trying.

'02 with 76,000 miles and love this dang thing. I had a W211 E55 prior to this (3 years) and thought I loved that car but this is much better. Friend has an '05 and I drove it the other day and believe me, I'd take a W210 E55 any day and all day long. Some how the W211 felt pretty nose heavy and I really didn't like it.

Planning on getting Sprint Booster for the E55, as it made a world of difference with the X5M

Btw, did you not own a W210 E55?

used AMGs are such an amazing value. 964s and 993s not so much these days but great selections man.

OP the cars look great. However, I enjoyed the background much better. What a beautiful view from your driveway. I could lounge there all day, and take in nature.

I have owned two w211 E55s and now have a 59k mile w210 e55. Love it too but prefer my e39 M5 (42k miles). Want to sell my e55 but can’t seem to pull the trigger as it is simply so good at everything.

Sometimes, I wish I was single: will have an E30 M3, a 964 911 RS America, my current E36 M3, and my current Golf sportswagon.
Heck, I will ask no more if I have three out of four cars.
