maybe... but I have never been one to follow the norm... I like to work it out with the choices made and live it to the fullest... good or bad, informed or un-informed as the case may be...

well its a car man..not a wife. I'm just saying you can dump $7k into your c230 and it still won't be as fast as stock c32.

You can trade in your c230 for around $18k and buy a used c32 for $16k. You'll net $2k and have something a lot faster and handle better straight off the bat. Then you can use that $2k buy mods for the c32 to give something close to 400hp to the crank or use it for suspension mods.

I'm just trying to save you some money and frustation. I understand we all love our cars but there comes a point where its not cost effective to mod a slow car when you can buy a faster car for the same price or less.

starr719

True... And i take no offense to your suggestion, but if i think I will have to run with the deal I have chosen, good or bad...


hell, I'm the guy that spent a small fortune getting a Probe GT into the low 13's... it's just who I am, kind of stubborn that way...

TemjinX2

yeah i was going to the same thing for my integra...i was about to spend $10k to turbo my integra to 500hp on a car thats 14yr old. When i realized the car is only worth $3k and will probably be stolen right after i do it.

starr719

good, then you know what I'm talking about and I look forward to meeting you guys...

Change status to: unconfirmed... And I also traded paint with a pole last weekend.. now my car is two tone.. silver and yellow..

mjbenz07

BUMP> coming up soon guys. Get them C classes clean and shiny.

CoupeCrazy03

Don't back out now! We need more coupes at the meet? We'll just take pics on the side with no pole paint

Planning to all day friday . . . got some serious work to do inside and out

W203E35

Almost wasnt going to be able to make it guys. I was driving with my buddy next to me, I decided to make a right turn going 40MPH (one lane)
but thats not all, like the idiot that I am during the turn I did a pedal to a medal (to clear the turn). I lost control skidded towards the cars on opposite end (oncomming). So then i tucked my whell and did another pedal to the medal so I can fishtail the other direction and it worked. For two hours I couldnt believe what a stupid thing I did (couldnt get it out of my mind). I came inches from hitting those cars, if I hadn't purposely fishtailed the other direction I would have slammed into them.

I know I know i'm an idiot. But thats all in the past now and THANK GOD I didnt crash (not mostly my car but a side impact to those drivers would be harsh or evern brutal). All I know is if I was with another car I would have definetly crashed.

I learned my lesson and now I know not to push my car (w203 350) to the limit.

Thank you Benz for your wonderful technology,

Be Safe guys


Edit

My traction (ESP) was on too.

It's amazing how a second feels like 30 seconds when your adrenalin kicks in.
I can just imagin what those stopped cars where thinking. A benz skidding towards them and last second (literally a foot away from hitting them) skidds (fishtails) to the other direction.

XsuperbeeX

Not really of the pole though... my friends are coming.. so not confirm... but they say they would come at fri so most probably going... Anyway I want to clean my car whether I going or not... any recommendations where??? If possible where I can clean it myself... cant wash mine at my apartment

CoupeCrazy03

Whoa whats up with the bad luck all of a sudden.

dbvolz

Makes me afraid of driving now...

I'm in the Miracle Mile area of LA, anybody caravaning down from LA? I guess I could meet up with the SFV guys, what time, where? Closest 405 exit is La Cienega for me...

ROLLNNN

I dont know anyone else out in your area and I'm not sure which route the sfv guys are going, but if they do go 405 south the whole way, maybe you guys can make a stop in the south bay area(405fwy and Artesia?) and meet up there and with the south bay guys (JDBlack, BigAlC230K)

mjbenz07

Nice plan. Let us know. Theres a thread for the SFV caravan.

W203E35

W203E35

Which freeway? It's probably on the side of the road? You should go look for it.

So far two guys with bad luck ( I mean this month did have friday the 13th )

shivi1345

it was on the 118 going towards Moorpark/Simi Valley

It flew towards the center divider and I was doin like 100+.......so I didnt go back for it

I drove on the same road today.....didn't see anything

ROLLNNN

2 days away guys... weather.com still says cloudy but no rain... Channel 7 said its gonna rain saturday night.. so looks like we should be good...

Hopefully we should be good with the photo shoot in the parking lot or parking structure. I don't know if mall security will be a**holes about it. Nobody parks at this end of the mall, since its closed (Its next to an old Montgomery Wards) But if they are, we can drive around the block to where there are a bunch of warehouses, kinda near the old Wheel Power.

Please try and be there by 11am at the latest so we can get everything organized....

if your running late, hit me up, pm me for my cell

see ya there!

W203E35

Can't wait. I'm going to take Friday off so I can wash and detail my car.
Thanks Roland (ROLLNNN) for setting this up. This is my first meet ever and I think it's going to be a blast.
Also Thanks mjbenz07 for setting the metting spot for the SFV guys.

mjbenz07
