Mercedes C200K Coupe
As you Americans say it: HOLY CRAP

I just came home… I went to test the thing that snaps when I floor it “hard” in my C-Coupe.

I never knew the car could accelerate like that… DAMN.

It was 8am. the highway was empty. Heh, I was the only one there… so I did it. the car reached 160Km/h in no time.

I wonder what a V8 or V12 could do!!

Heh, I passed by patrol cars, seven different cars (yeah, I counted them) and no one did anything to me!!!!! LOL, probably they weren’t in a mood.

So, any new things I should know about?

Now I found two things that are really great to me. The most important is the adaptive transmission, and now this! (before I used to avoid snapping it cuz I used to think I’m breaking the throttle :p)

By the way… is it something special in the C coupe only or all other models have it? heh, if dad sees me driving like that in his car he’d never allow me even touching it :p

By the way...

I was looking at the RPM... it kept going into the red area a couple of times. I think that happened on the 3rd gear.

do you know why that happened? is it harmful to the car?

if you just floor it like that, the car will hold gear until redline, which i believe is stated at 6200 rpm for these cars, but is marked at 6000 on the gauge. don't worry about it. it is almost impossible to rev past redline with the auto tranny. besides, most if not all new cars have a fuel shutoff to keep you from harming the engine if it stays in the red for too long.

Hehehe...Wain Jarabt-ha? I do it all the time in my car...Either on The 5th Ring Road with Head Lights flashing at the car's ahead, or on the way to the shalets :p. The redline is normal, try stepping down to third gear on the exit to the high way and floor it, it's amazing lots of power output. Then grab the left lane and change gears according to the RPM.

LOOOOL… that’s where I tried it. I didn’t have to plash anything cuz there were no cars. The highway was really empty. What annoys me a lot is what they did with that camera. Why did they have to change its direction and make it on this direction!?

I used to be fun. You could drive from the city center to almost al-3adan and there is only one speed limit camera working.

The old ones are not working anymore, right?

by the way KU104... you drive a c-coupe too? don't tell me a blue one? cuz I've seen a guy speeding there a couple of times. heh, I wanted to keep up with him but I didn't dare. I was driving at a speed of 180Km/h and he was still accelerating!

The Camera on in front of Ga9er Bayan is working, some old ones are some aren't. This one takes photos from behind on the side going towards Surra and Qurtoba, Andalus etc. The camera's in the middle of the road are very unpredictable they are turned alot. Some people say this ine doesn't work but it took a pic of some one while I drove past it. The new ones though only some work. If they have a small antenna on top of them they are working if not they aren't.

On the Way to 3adan (On the King Abdulaziz Highway) There are about 2 Camera's. (or one I forget) but the order goes Like this. The first warning is true, second is false, third is true. On the way back to the city (or going) it's oposite. False True False.

And no I dont have a C-coupe. I have a Dark Blue (ki7ly) E240 (Year 2000) I am considering a c-coupe. What do u think of it worth it? Or should I go for the new SLK or an Expedition (My favorite SUV after H2 and Landcruiser ) BTW I know the guy with the Blue C-Coupe, it has a half-life (upside down Y) sticker on it right?

You’re saying that the old cameras are working too?! LOOOOOOOL… the one before 9uba7 elsalem then caught me about zillions of times while I’m driving over 160Km/h, heh.
I usually don’t go that far. Suba7 el salem is the end of the world to me :p

Wait a second, you’re driving an E? so… that means ur E has that something like a button behind the throttle too?

Anyway, if you want to buy a used coupe I’d sell u mine :p
SLK is cool too, better than an SUV. I hate them, they are so dangerous. Especially if u are in Kuwait!

I’ve seen a guy that fits ur description!! But I think his half-life logo, Linda, wasn’t upside down.
I think it was in silver or something?

LOOOOL… don’t u think its weird? Most of the guys driving c coupe have HL logo on their cars!!! I have “phile” on my car, which stands for F = Fatma (Oh… no… my heaaaaaaaaart… ouch.. :p) and also from Greek: beloved, dear and loving! Don’t tell anyone… it seems I’m the only one who knows that!

Not all some :p I dont think the one in 9uba7 el salem is working. Not sure.

Yes the sticker is in silver But I'm not that guy I just know who he is (Mako Wa7id in q8 ahbal mithla...allah yaster 3alee) :p

BTW...you mean u'd sell it as in u don't like it? Why not?

As for the SLK lots of kids are taking it now (Killa shabab Mu9bina:p) Thats why i'm sort off not leaning towards it. And whats wrong with SUV's I'm a decent drive I won't go over ALL sidewalks, just in traffic :p

And what HL logo?

I think I saw that guy a couple of times in shari3 dimashq. Maybe in el surra once. He always etarikly… elthahir emshabih 3alai :p

Why do I want to sell it? when I first got it, it was a cool car. people used to hate it that time and it was like something… unique. Now every one is driving it and it became a normal car! so I’m not that big fan of it. now I’m looking for something more…. Luxury. Or something I could use when… hitting on girls :p

But seriously? If I managed to sell it I’d buy the new V6 coupe. That one ought to be cool. I’d take desert sand color without a doubt.

“As for the SLK lots of kids are taking it now”

SLK IS for kids I believe…
…and hot girls too!

Ma la7atht that most of the girls driving this car are HOT?! LOL. There is a girl with me at college drives a black one. She’s soooooooooo hot. I’d melt if she/I talked.
I did notice her looking at me in a way a couple of times. Maybe I could try? (heh, NEVER :p) do you know her by any chance?

HL logo is the half life symbol u were talking about.

LooooL The people with the HL logo is a group (Nas Mas5ara shayfeen ro7oom La itlageehoum wayh) :p

As for the SLK true every girl in it is hot oo itkalim akthar min 5ppl at a time. Bas fe minhoum ma 3indihoum sowalif. Most shayfeen ro7houm. :p I know the Black SLK she has Short hair right? She's ok I've seen better.

Yes, I did think about the C320 Coupe, Still 6months for my license so I dont know maybe I'll wait till I finish College then I'll buy a car.

As for getting girls, 5alik tikana oo il bint til7agik, seen it done alot. Bas ana I quit that stuff a long time ago oo I've seen my fair share of gaz in q8 :p al7een malee shi'3il ba7ad aroo7 il 7ob 7ag il gomat oo il 5aleej atmasha ma3a il shabab :p

I was feeling sleepy when I wrote that topic!

You’ve seen that girl? How short is her hair? Its not that short. Actually you could say its long. It reaches to her shoulders. She wears black ki7la, has black eyes, dark black her… and her skin tends to red, dark red… I think I have crush on ppl like that these days :p

By the way… do you know that KU104 is the flight number of Kuwait airways coming form London? I wonder why u chose that name…

Are you guys mixing languages, or do you always talk that way? There is some english and some of another language I don't know. And do you always have numbers in the spelling of your words? Just curious.

heh, well, we are also talking arabic in Kuwaiti accent.
we are not using arabic text. so, we use numbers that look like some arabic letters to give some words meaning.
