lol, niiiiiiiice.

You know, I like the cost savings but really, I feel like I care for my car better than anyone else can. I know exactly what went into my car today and that everything was done right.

I'm planning on doing a lot of stuff in the next month or so, didn't do a DIY for this one since a great one exists already.

Hmmm... Lol Ive been doing my own oil changes for a while.. Your still missing a fuel filter =P Very easy to change if you ask me. I don't understand why everyone just doesn't do it.. Its so easy to play with this car everything is straight forward.

Oh lol i thought changing the brake pads would be hard... LOL i have no idea why people pay to get them done... job was so easy..

Except for the Mann not having the Mercedes logo, nothing. Mann is the OEM for MB oil and air filters. There are also a sprinkling of Mahle Knecht, and Hengst in there as well.

Just had the brakes done, Akebono Euro Ceramics all around. Yeah yeah, I chickened out on the brakes, only because I don't have a jack or jack stands and I HAD to get them done right after I moved out here to SoCal.

Next up is the brake fluid, fuel filter, and transmission fluid.

Yup. Made sure to buy the fleece filter and it was exactly the same as OEM.

The C350 Sport has the same brakes as the C32/55 so I can buy Akebono's for my car, not sure about pads for the 2-piston fixed calipers.

Yeah I'm planning to do the brakes by myself but I'm considering getting the transmission fluid done. Still not sure. I do know exactly want I want though. I'm pretty sure I'm going to replace the brake fluid with Endless RF-650 and the transmission fluid with the newest MB OEM fluid.

Ok, so I did my brake fluid today. I know you guys are going to kill me but I was in a rush so I didn't take any pics for the DIY. I will however do a short write-up.

hahaha I got everybody shaking today.
If you guys wake up not remembering anything then that's my bad. I wanted you guys to have a good time at my house so I slipped what I had thought was Extacy but it ended up being Rufies...

Ya Pat, that Trance CD is a GILF magnet. By the way I installed the HID today (night) it looks great. No Flickering..No Errors..No STAR...So Far So Good. The only problem I had was I tried adjusting the headlights and I screwed it up even more I'll take care of that tomorrow.

Thanks again Erick and Pat..You guys are welcome at my pad anytime
