I see you did not waste your time to play with the 55 just right after dumping the coupe! lol

Did they say anything with the black grill and badge?

thanks guys!

the 55 is such a fun car, the power it has is amazing! I thought the 535 was quick, haha

as for my grill, they didn't say anything about that. I kinda left that, and the tail lights tinted, since they are selling it out to a 3rd party dealer, it should be okay.

haha yeah!

when I was "taking my stuff out" aka my bag, laptop, etc out of the coupe, stood there watching them move the car to the back, waiting for the c55 to come down, I have to admit, it was kinda sad.
