I always look at the Csport first, then mbworld...there is too much BS going on around here for serious posts...and I don't like weeding through the crap.

Tough choice. Csportscoupe requires that you register there - no guest browsing. I will never accept that. On the other hand, I don't like too much "NeOn UnDeRbOdY" sort of stuff that seems to have taken over MBWorld...

Hey vadim, these "neon underbody" people usually come and go over the years, i wouldn't let them bother you. Just ignore their posts. It is still a great place here for info.

I get lots of useful info from my dealer...

Me: Where is the bathroom?
SA: Over there sir.
*************************************
Me: When will my car be ready?
SA: Sometime soon.
*************************************
Me: Did you put the flat tire in the trunk?
SA: Yes, they wrapped it and put it back.
Me: Thank you, they did put the spare back first right?
SA: Um, i'm not sure, i'll have to check and get back to you...
*************************************

This is priceless information people, common, SA and dealers rule!

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport.

The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said, "WHERE AM I?" in large letters.

People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said, "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."

The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely.

After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position.

The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because, similar to their help-lines, they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer."

Been an MB owner for 35+ years, 14 different cars in all. Having no special interest in the Coupe by itself, I still gravitate to this site.

I'm also mostly uninterested [but occasionally amused] by all of the "tarting-up" posts - the neon lights, the 19" wheels, the suspension fiddling....to a long-time MB buff, this is heretical. Still, as noted above, this sort of stuff is easy to skip over, so it doesn't especially interfere with my overall enjoyment of the site.

And, the occasional nuggets from insiders who actually work in the business [the updated list of C203 known problems is/was a big help] are a good reason to keep checking in.
