johand- Yeah they do look great and change up the entire look of the rear at night..

LILBENZ230- Why dont you want to take it out? it's not very hard. If you had trouble removing the handle, you have to use a flat head and pry down the little clip looking thing in the handle/grip.. That gave me hell to find out.

Waz up Trini!!! What's going on man? You've been quiet on the boards lately. What surprise do you have for us? Get that Evo and call it a day man. Great handling, great power, great launch...what else do you want??

That's exactly what I play to do bro. I have came to the conclusion that with the winters getting worse 4WD for me is a must because I can't be getting stuck with "the wrong wheel drive". I have considered staying benz and getting a AMG But that'll be later down the road. I'm holding out for a little while longer until I find what I'm really looking for.. a 06 evo 9 gsr(5spd.) Ssl in electric blue(eb) or apex silver.. the C280 is cutting it for now, but in a few years ill be back in the Mb game with a C63 hopefully lol.

You have a 4Matic right? Lol we have been getting A LOT of snow this winter and driving my car makes me wish I had AWD. RWD in snow is so annoying, my car can barely make it up any incline. There was light snow the other day 2-5 inches and I got stuck down town and just left the car there so I had to walk to my doc appointment which was like a mile away. Especially living in NY id stay with AWD if I were you, all AMGs are RWD right?

Trey is correct. When I had DWS tires, rated for snow use, on my C230K it got around just fine.

Interesting that you'll be back with "hopefully" a C63 in a few years. You planning to move to a warm climate? The C63 has no traction on dry pavement. I swear I hate that <james may voice> idiotic Mercedes </voice>

If I can afford to buy a C63 I'd own a second car for snow days.lol

Yeah man the 4matic gets through anything and EVERYTHING.. Certain cars aren't designed for a cold snowy climate and yeah as far as I know all AMGs are RWD. What tires do you have?

+1.. Winter tires and some 17's on a evo or c63 or C55 would get you through the winter. It's funny because my buddy has a 05 e46 m3 and bmw reccomends to turn off DSC in snow because all it does it cut the throttle.

Yeah bro im looking at new cars, I should have something different pretty soon tho..(taxtime) I have to take off my two front wheels today because I dropped in a bad pothole and theres a shim and bump everytime the front left tire makes a rotation.

You need to make up your mind... I remember you thinking about which car to buy for eternities. It seems like you pick a new car to buy every month lool. Just do it.

I really do bro, the E46 m3 is in my lap of interest right now..

I'll say it, but it may not have much weight, I think I decided on getting a M3.

In that case, I support your decision 100%. Just make sure you find one in good condition
