Congrats on the new purchase! So, you decided to go from an Audi to a Benz huh? Sounds like you got an extra $$$$ for upcoming MODS. Keep this thread updated.

btw, there are plenty of suspension and handling mods that can be done to the W203 that put it far above the Audi & BMW in handling. So you get best of both worlds.

I'm an alum. (class of '99) myself. I can answer questions for you too, although all the new stuff they have over there (Howard Hughes building, new dorms, parking, etc...) I probably wouldn't be able to explain. Man, that campus has changed drastically since I was there.

Welcome!
Dare I ask what happend to the Audi? Swapping interesting crash stories is always fun. In my case, the tow truck decided to take away my car without a driver! All I can say is, thank god for trees.

i was racing.....(dont race it sucks)
I was on the freeway, going pretty damn fast, when out of nowhere a car in the lane next to me was going 30mph and cut over (not just switched lanes, i mean cut over) without signaling.
I hit the brakes for like .5 seconds and then hit him
I hit his car so hard that it rolled over
Luckily we were both ok, and i just f-ed up my wrist from the impact....i tohught he was dead when i saw his car, i was soooo friggin scared.
Well they took my statment, i told the cops i was going 75-80 and he cut me off going 30....they didnt take his statment till the next day, where he lied saying he was going 65mph and signaled, and was in his lane for 15 seconds before he got hit (complete bull****) and i got 80% of the blame....where if i would have lied more and said i was going the speed limit i would have only gotten 50% or less....but oh well i guess thats what i get for racing

Yah that's a *****, you think honesty would get you out of situations like those, but no matter what it's pretty likely the other person is going to lie...
