    No no not me haha...went car shopping for my mother today...

    took out the car and we bought a new benz...the C300 Sport

    [​IMG]

    i think its quite an improvement from the E350 she had....i was never a fan of that car....

    2 things from my 3 hours at mercedes....

    1) my car got the most interest of all the cars there....and 80% of the show room cars were AMG's...and OH YEAH the SLR was there as well haha...

    2) HOLY CRAP the AMG breaks are GINORMISE!!!!!!!!!!...i never got up close and personal with them before...but there was an E63 AMG on the showroom floor that i was looking at and GOOD LORD those breaks are INSANE! hahahaha

    it was a good time....as soon as she gets it im going to "test it" to make sure its all good hahaha

    Me too....the funny thing is...we deal with the head of sales...as in the guy who sells the Maybach cars and the SLR....and he sits on the hood of a $140,000 AMG like its nothing when talking to us lol

    this is MOM's car hahahaha...

    she insisted that we go to some other dealers...she drove a Suby Legacy...as soon as we left the dealer she goes "lets just go to Mercedes" hahahahhaa

    i dont like the look of the E63....the front end is just blah...headlights look bad...nose is eh....if the E63 had the front of the C63...AWESOME haha....but the C63 and even the E63 are just too small for me as i was in both yesterday lol

    i just pulled that pic off the internet...those are actually AMG wheels in the pic....i think hers are 17"s though...they are different then that...when we pick the car up on saturday ill take some peektures

    Great choice. I get an average of 32 mpg on my daily flat-ground freeway commute in the C-class I bought in January. I've seen as much as 35.2 mpg. Amazing, and they aren't expensive.

    yeah...i think it LOOKS a lot nicer than her E class does now...and with the re design of the C class....its about the size of the 06 E class...im looking forward to getting it home...i will test drive it for real hahaha

    its Silver with black inteiror which is what i was hoping she would get cause she doesnt wash it ever...and her black one looks TERRIBLE cause its so dirty all the tiem lol

    i dont know...my parents took the car on a test drive and i stayed back with the sales manager....we spent more time talking about my car than anything else...then he kept hinting at me to trade it in for an C63...but i like my car...and im sure its not a clean swap trade hahaha

    Nice, I've always been a fan of Mercs it's just ... they're too expensive and too confusing on their options and shiat. I like Acura's deal, all fully equipt at one price, that's it. Anyway, nice car tho, hope they like it.

    Now, 2 things. OF COURSE your car got all the attention dude, LOOK AT IT, those Torred Chargers screeeeeeeeeeeeam "LOOK AT ME!!" and for good reason too, haha! Besides, does Merc even make a red car?!?! 2nd, dude, it's BRAKES, not breaks, come on Mr. Well Educated, Highly Respected IBM Worker, get it right, sheesh! All those education dollars down the drain, I weep for our young ... lol!!

    Hey, I'm just saying most Mercs are grey or silver or black or some other drab color, not retina burning red like yours!! Hahaha! Second, that's not a spelling error, that a context error. Break means to damage or destroy something. Brake is what's on your car and helps you to stop ... should you care to, hahaha! Hey, I'm just playin with your balls, thought you liked that, lol!!

    Ok, well, I've kinda got a full schedule of "ball playing" this week (you wouldn't believe how many guys are after me right now) but ... I might be able to squeeze you later this week, I'll let you know. In the mean time, try the EQ, they're extra good at this kinda thing. Hahahhahahaaaa!!!
