C230 Coupe
tluke, I don't know how much you make, and I don't really care. But you, as well as every other cop in America, deserve every penny you make, and probably more.
Good for you, and I hope you enjoy your new C320. Post pics when you pick it up.

Re: On a cop's salary
Hey bro,
I wasn't slamming you re: your cops salary. I'm not giving you attitude in my original post titled, "Awww c'mon, on a cop's salary"
I just know that, as a 10-year veteran inner-city street cop in Los Angeles myself, VERY few drive Merdedes. I can think of only one that I knew of. I know what we make, and I know what we buy and where we (generally) live.
Let's just say there are far more coppers in F-150's and Accords than in C-class Mercedes.

A regular Cop too. The kind that pushes a battle hoop, not a desk.

But while I am waiting for the new one to be delivered Monday, I may spend some of my spare time driving my 2003 Harley Heritage Softail Classic or my customized 2003 Jeep Wrangler.
Not bragging, but I get this same attitude from some of the people I contact when they also think they are better than I. I'm not overpaid for what I do. Let's not judge by one's occupation!

I've calmed down now!
Thanks for the welcome. My new C320 4 Matic is in and waiting for me at the dealer. It is just sitting there covered in light snow. They did not have an M-B mechanic in on Saturday to prep and go over it for delivery so it looks like Monday afternoon. For anyone interested it is in Brilliant Silver with the Comfort Launch package and all leather interior. So, Monday it is!
