Mom's new Benz

Brand new C320 4matic company car. So far my favorite feature is the adjustible lumbar support thing. Not broken in yet so i havent driven it too hard.

ha, i totally agree, first thing i told her to do is get some new rimz. I dont think she'll want to lower it though, and i cant say i can blame her, wouldnt make a lot of sense on the 4matic.

Isn't it a company car? How are you going to legally modify something that you don't own?

It's probably a dealer emblem. These things are attached by wires - easily removable.

They also put those on if it's your certain number mercedes. If you've bought several, you get an indicator tag.
