What makes your S550 unique? Brag it up here!

I made mine a little unique today. Washed, clay barred, and waxed it first.
Then I put the RimBlades/RimSavers on it. I like the performance package wheels but have never been a fan of the all black wheel that blends in with the tires.So in addition to protection from mishaps, the Rim Blades add a touch to separate the wheel and tire lip. I like this look much more.
I noticed this evening that I forgot to clean and polish the exhaust tips. They have a lot of track rubber on them. I guess that is next weekend's project.
And I hate waxing white cars. It's really hard to tell if you got all the wax off. I spotted a couple of spots that were missed when the sun hit it so had to get the microfiber out to buff a couple of spots. My black Mustang and red Mustang were a lot easier to wax. My wife's prior Lincoln was a cream color and that was easier to see the wax than her new one in the pearl white.

I have a 2021 Ecoboost Premium with the Pony Package. It's white/black. I bought it mid May 2023 with only 1,569 miles. The car was built in November 2021,so it still has a year and a half bumper to bumper warranty. The Pony package is what makes this car special to me. I'm a big fan of the '67 and '68 fastbacks with chrome trim and chrome wheels. The Pony Package brings that home to me with polished aluminum wheels, horizontal black stripes on the sides, the red/white/blue tri-bar on the trunk, and the added chrome around the Pony emblem on the grill. All these things take me back.
I've been on two road trips with it totaling about 5,000 miles. The car handles great, gets 30+ mpg on the road and the 310 HP and 350 torque is plenty of power for this old man (76 years old). This is a two thumbs up car for me. Oh, did I mention that I love the looks of this car. Several pics attached.
