2001 C240
Before C-class
When I was 16 yrs old my first car was a 1995 325is BMW, wrecked that on the 405 freeway, used insurance money and purchased a 1999 2.8 A4 quattro. Now I am 23yrs old and have bought a C240. So far I have enjoyed the Mercedes very much.

02 C230 w/C2 & C7
First I drove a Chevy Lumina, which we called The Battle Van or Hit Me Please. A few vacations have had from The Battle Van, if you know what I mean. Haha.
Then I drove A MB 560SL. Which is for sale by the way. It runs great. Interested anyone? (This was NOT a Battle Mobile)
But now I'm a very happy coupe owner.
BTW: Anaheim Angels SUCK!! Hehehe

C230K Sports Coupe
Prior to my C230, I drove a 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback that I racked up 118,000 miles on in four years. IMHO, perhaps one of the world's most boring cars. Going from the Subie to the M-B was a quantum leap in fun and status, though a major drop in practicality. Still, I don't care because I love the reaction the M-B gets from almost everyone. The only thing I miss is being able to toss my bike in the back without giving a s*** about what got banged up or dirty.

My previous vehicle was a '91 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 2-door 5-speed manual with offroad package. Only offroading I ever did was in Chappaquiddick, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts (no, not THAT kind of off-roading Teddy Kennedy did when he drove off that bridge
). Good riddance. Only time I'm gonna miss it will be the next blizzard up north-east. That thing was unbeatable in the white stuff! Always a parking spot in Manhattan - on top of a snowpile. 4WD-LO is ferocious in that vehicle!

2003 c230k
I was driving a '91 Honda Accord 175,000 mileage all through college. I thought I'd never get a NEW car. to my surprise, after graduation, last June '2002, my parents gave me the coupe as a graduation present. NICE, right!

I'm getting my coupe in April, but right now I'm still stuck with my 1998 VW Beetle. It sucks. It's a tin can on wheels. A shopping cart, if you will. :p
Don't get me wrong, it was my first car and it has served me alright, it can be kind of fun at times, but I'm ready to grow up a bit. Not to mention that I'd like some actual POWER every now and then, and a lot more safety features - my Beetle doesn't even have anti-lock brakes!

The True OG Modded out W203
I had a '98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder w/tan leather and like a candy purple exterior. And I also had at the same time a '01 Toyota Highlander V6 Limited which btw is a very good car if you are looking for a suv. But I do sorely miss my spyder. It was souped up w/rims, intercooler, blow off valve(which is the coolest) etc, etc. But when kids come along one must sacrifice their unnecessary toys...sob But hey I got a Mercedes out of it!

just got my C230 Coupe 6 days ago and love it!!! Previous car was a 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe...not a bad car but not my choice, dealer owed me a new car due to screwing up my first civic so bad after taking it in for repairs after an accident.
