Hello!
Thanks for all the nice compliments. This is also my first MB. I had a 01 Accord EX V6 "riced" out before I got this car. The fate of that car? Rear ended and TOTALED by a 2004 MB G500 going about 35mph. My Accord looked like a crumpled soda can and was minus a rear end. The damage on the G500? His headlamp was cracked, and he had a few dents and scratches.....but that's it! Talk about a testament to MB's being built like a freaking BANK VAULT.
Thanks to the G500 dude, my insurance paid me enough to put a NICE fat down payment to my new C230 SS.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't bag on JDM cars as "rice" rockets. It just depends on how people set their car up. If they set it up like something out of Fast and The Furious w/ the decals allover the place, stickers, etc...then we're going into the "rice" territory. Other than that, I appreciate a nice looking JDM car just as much as a nice looking Euro. Now, which of the two garners more "respect", well that is unfortunately a different story and a Euro will win the majority of the time.
I definitely love Euro cars more than any other....(not to bag on American or Japanese, it's just a personal preference)
Porsche has got to be my fav car company of all time though! I saw my first 911 Turbo when I was 12 years old, and it was LOVE at first drive-by. Hehe

I kept the factory rear lights....mostly because I didn't care much for the out-of-style Altezza style units that practically everyone with a Honda had. My parents actually got the Accord for me back in college....I wanted a Merc SLK at the time but......yeah.....you know how that goes. LOL
Regardless, hope you have just as much fun with the Benz. I know I went from convincing myself that modding a Benz would just be way out of my budget, to almost buying at least 1 mod per month (I've slowed down lately because of budget for rims).
