Howdy from Texas!!!

Hello Everyone!
I'm a new member from Dallas, Texas (technically Sunnyvale, TX). Anyone else on here from my area?
I bought a 05 C230K Sedan in June after totaling my Honda Accord.
Brillant Silver with the Black interior with a Navi...i LOVE it!
Still stock, but after reading through this forum I have a LOT of ideas! I'm just a little scared on messing something up. Hopefully all goes well...

Yeah, i hope i dont total this one as well....the sad thing is that before i got my plates and even before i made my first car payment...i got $3k worth of damage...
The car in front of me ran over a piece of debris (18 wheeler tire) and his back tires picked it up and it flew into my front end and whiped around to the driver door...i about cried...had to fix the front bumper, hood, driver front fender, driver door and a new headlamp (bi-xenon)...the ironic thing is that i was driving home after picking up the check from my totaled honda...

Checking in from Flower Mound. Welcome aboard.

Don't ask about any group meets in DFW area, though. I tried to put them together two years running, and no more than a couple people show up...
