Powel has a crapload of exotics, not at all a rare sight here. I have two vipers, one V10 lambo, a 430 and a 360 spider in my development. Over at Powel there are so many it's not even much of a occurrence to see something cutting you the road along the river. Two weeks ago an R8 and I were going 100+ along that stretch with a 911 with me working the hardest to stay with them.

I think the top ones are the best overall, the lower ones are Maybach and very fitting for what those cars are.

I think those wheels look good on the Maybach, but out of place on an S Class with the AMG package.

Maybe. I wonder what MB used to use on older AMG models from the past era?

I’m not the only LX at the water today. Maybe they come here too for zen, or are waiting on a late boat as well! This is what I mean when I say these and Land Cruisers are all over the place in West Knoxville. You wouldn’t think they don’t sell a lot based on living here. Oh and they’re wasting a lot of gas, lol I rolled all my windows down and it’s fine in the shade. These things suck the gas down just idling lol.

I don’t like my version in white at all, I passed on one. But white looks great in the ‘16+ IMO.
