"To German," literally...
Colloquially, "Is German"...
What, you think that us Euro drivers only speak AMURICAN?
But hey, your the expert that thinks we're running a 23 year amortization on a car loan, so I'll take your word for the term's meaning.
And I doubt that you'd beat my car, let alone a 911 turbo, in an autocross race... But hey doing it since I was 10 in a shifter cart and then in real cars, doesn't make me an expert, only an enthusiast.

so you're still running on your stock shocks that have 100k miles on them?

No, but you somehow think that my car will be paid off in 2030... You said it right in your post.
And if your so serious about your cars, then by all means, you must be serious about your money.
Me, I paid cash. But I don't like having debt, so to each their own.

Midnight Blue 2004.5 C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan. 2002 w210 E320, 2009 w211 E350 Sport
Last year of the w203 chassis is 2007, so unless someone has a 23 year finance (is that even possible?), I doubt anybody will be paying for a brand new w203 past 2013/2014 (at most).

Sport package Sedan.
You'll also see
"K": For Kompressor (that would be a Supercharger, like the 'ol Roush boys are running in your world).
"C230": That means it's a coupe (two doors, like your car).
And "C55": Which is German for has 100HP more than you.

I for one can appreciate some good humour flaming, trashing talking, and other non-sense, yet you gotta be able to take it without acting as snooty as the MB drivers you're calling "meatheads".
Your 96 mustang is a high 14 sec car, while a C230 is a low 15 sec car. In fact if you lookup the V6 Mustangs in the 2000s, they are still high 14 sec cars, even the new Mustangs aren't exactly fast cars. So our luxury sedans/coupes are just slightly slower than a stock sports car that costs about the same with fewer refinements and little safety gear.
Kinda sad right?

I thought you had left. Are you related to Mr. Spock? Or are you just some trekky?

I am sure that i will be kicked of by tommorow. I just had a couple simple questions and then this whole thing got out of hand. 1st; what is a C23 Kleeman? 2nd ;why put those badges on your car if a 5k car can beat the snot out of it? Didnt really mean to offend anyone, except that ***** guy.
Anyway, getting tired here. Good luck with your cars, I really do admire them, just can't see myself in a foreign car. I am sure some of you can understand that.
Good Day

anyone that paid $35k for a C230 paid $10k too much.
I bought two C320's for under $30k each.
anyway, you can't compare a 4.6L V8 to a 1.8L I4.
