New pics of new car
Hello all,
I recently introduced myself in another thread after I took delivery of my new 2006 C230 Sport. The pictures I took at night didn't come out well, so I took the opportunity of a nice day to give the new girl a bath and shoot some pics.
I really enjoy washing a new car for the first time. It gives you such greater perspective on the lines of the sheetmetal, and the fitment of the panels. To date, this car has been a joy. The only complaint is I can't get it away from my wife enough to drive it!
Here's a few samples from this afternoon's photo shoot:
Then I had to go find a nice, artsy backdrop. lol

Thanks. I've got a few spots around town where I like to snap pics of my cars.
I also have a 92 Mustang, and for that I prefer older, run-down industrial settings for pics. I may try a few of those with the new car.
Since I'm whoring it up, here's a shot of my mustang and its, um, kompressor! lol
OK, I now promise to only stick to pics of the Benz hence forward!
Thanks again for the welcome!

white w203, it's apples and oranges. The benz is head and shoulders a better car on every level, a joke to even compare.
Except acceleration. It would lose horribly there. lol
Amy, it's funny you say that. I thought the same thing when I uploaded it, and my ironically wife is very much like "Emma" (from the brochure) herself. This may become the car's name.

Frankly, I really like the wheels on the car. There are a few others that I might like more, but not enough to justify a healthy outlay of cash.
A few appearance mods might be fun in time. One project I'm going to do is make some illuminated door sills myself. I think it's a really cool option, but not worth 500 plus to me. Fortunately, having my own cnc machine is helpful here...
