Damn dude! Pains me to see her all smashed up like that but glad you're OK and on to bigger and better things. Looking forward to tracking your C55 progress.

But yes, the whole front end absorbed most of the impact. I had a little bit of a headache the next day and my left knee was a little bruised, I think I smacked the dash a little bit, but otherwise I was fine. The interior cabin of the car was totally unharmed except the air bags popping out. Amazing how safe MB's are.
I'm just happy my passenger and I are OK because it could have been much worse at that magnitude of impact!

First thing I'm going to do is get a Bilstein racing suspension for it. Eventually, I'll get myself a nice exhaust system, don't know which one yet. I've already done an ECU tune and will get it redone at a later date after some more mods.
Cosmetically, I've got to get the windows re-tinted and a new paint job because whoever had it before had a ****ty *** tint job done and the paint is in bad shape. But hey, when you guy a car that's blue book $21k for $14k, there's got to be a reason, which in this case was the cosmetics. I didn't really mind because I figured I'd drop a couple grand into it and still be less than the value.

Guttentag!
Nice whip Mulac, and bonus props on having a German-made MB, nothing like it
Think I'm at a bit of a disagreement with the majority of ya'll though on the color preferences though.
I don't mind white on a Benz, but it just doesn't appeal to me at all. I feel like that color belongs on a BMW because BMW's are considered to be (at least IMO) more sporty or flashy, thus the white color suits them. Benzos are more presidential, luxurious type rides, so black or nothing for me (limo-style).
I might be a bit biased though, after all, I got one in black
