"Double Stuff" SOLD | Nor*Cals "Pesky Audi"

AFTER 4 MONTHS! I am OFFICIALLY A part of MBWorld!

Well today after a long process of credit checks and pricing, etc, Its finally happened. I am the proud owner of a 2003 C230 Kompressor in Alabaster White. The care is amazing! I love it. Im still kinda in shock. Most may think "dude its just a car". But for me, its a huge achievement. What werid is, I took a pic of a [newely released] S500 back in '99. I remember taking that picture and my dad tellin me "You'll have one of those before your 25". Kinda ironic how its actually playing out, with my 24th bday only 2 weeks, to the day, away.

I got to play a little on the way back from Autobahn Motors in Belmont to my lovely home in the center of Hell... a.k.a. Antioch. Due to being dead in the middle of rush hour traffic, I didn't get to play all that much. However, once I hit 580 from 237 in Castro Valley, it opened up a little. I had the room, so I went for it. Broke her in at a cool 120+/-. Backed off shortly thereafter.

Had to drop some cd's off at a buddy of mines house and when he opened his front door, envy consumed him. He didn't even say hi. Saw my 'new' car sitting behind me and immediately said "I hate you" haha. I still feel like im driving a rental car or something. Its all a huge shock to me. After thoughts of MAYBE owning one and then acting on it and waiting for 4 months, its finally mine!

Best believe this bad boy won't be stock for long! I got some lil tricks here and there.

I'm gonna debadge / desticker it tomorrow in the morning and take pics for all of ya. Granted its stock... but not for long! Take care all.

Congrats man! I'll never forget the feeling of driving my first Benz off the lot. Although, you might want to slow down if you want to live to see another Benz... ~120mph on the freeway is kinda wreckless bro. Peace!

Very nice! First mods should be coilovers and wheels, then bi-x, clear mirror blinkers, and euro impact strips. If you don't feel like a whole new body kit, the Expression DTM front bumper compliments the sport kit nicely. Some type of exhaust, trunk lip spoiler, and maybe S style tails would finish off the rear nicely.
