Two slightly interesting things I saw today

Today I saw some interesting things. I saw my first ever Mercedes CLS500... It was black and headed northbound on I-293 in Manch... It looks great in person, and I only saw it from a distance. Very elegant.
Also, I saw a Mahogany X5 today.. That's one of about three I've seen in my life. I think it's for a good reason, too. It may have been the fact that it was a cloudy day, but it looked like mud. It was too brown, IMO. I think that a dark red X5 would look very nice indeed, but I can see why Mahogany never took off.
EDIT: I also just remembered that there's now a random billboard along 293 that just says "Juicy...", noothing else!

I have seen a bunch of CLS 500's and recently saw my first white one. It looked horrible. I think they only look good in darker or metallic colors. I see tons of really high end cars out where I am because there seems to be lots of people with way too much money. I actually saw a Rolls Phantom and a Maybach 62 on the same day this past weekend. If they drive those cars I'd hate to see their houses.

Actually, I already saw my first black CLS 55 (AMG) back in March in Beverly Hills, CA.

The Mahogany Brown X5 looks dark red in the bright CA sunny day, but who knows what it looks like when its cloudy. But, don't see too many of those X5s.

Also, my dealer has the mother load of E90s.
I was there because my parking brake was broken.. A BMW is supposed to have a maximum of 7 "clicks" and mine had 10.

My dad is the market for a new car and I think that the CLS500 is the one. When we were at the dealer Sunday, just looking, and we saw a white cls. It looks ok but definitely not the best color. Anyway we will see how it drives Saturday.
