Hello all. I'll be taking delivery of my 2003 C240 4Matic tomorrow morning so I figured I would stop on in here and introduce myself. Prior to my test drive, I had never ridden in or driven a Mercedes of any type so as you can imagine I was instantly impressed, and of course sold. I hope this will be the first in a long line of Mercedes-Benz automobiles I will own. If you have any words of wisdom to share, that would be appreciated. Other than that, it is good to make your acquaintance.

I don't plan on doing much, if anything, mod-wise. I'll be handing over my SRT-4 in exchange for this C240... I got the whole modding thing out of my system on that car. I am so sick and tired of everybody with a $500 car pulling up next to me trying to race. If I could trade you straight-up my watch for your car... Leave me alone. I'm hoping the Benz will get me left alone. lol Might chip it, might get some rims... Definitely tinting the windows, but that just might be it. I wanted the C240 for the luxury aspects. I can't wait to have a nice warm bum on my way about.
