Talking One Week Anniversary!

It was last Friday morning -- a crisp blue sky -- in Arlington, VA. As my friend and I arrived at ASC, there it was, in real life -- my great looking C230.
I had just arrived from an overseas trip the night before and was fighting jet-lag, but there was no way I was going to wait another minute to pick up my new MB.
It has been a great week -- already with about 500 miles -- after a trip to Ocean City, MD (watching the speed limits....) and I have enjoyed every single mile -- and countless hours sitting in the garage.
I appreciate all the useful information that I find here and look forward to even more now that I have the vehicle. I will post some pics next week for all to see.
Happy driving....

Congratulations!
I was thinking about getting Paprika with Charcoal leather. I thought it was a great color combination but I could not get the approval from my better half. Not every one will agree that it is a nice color though - I think thats why I liked it so much. It is quite a stunning color for this model, especially with C7 wheels. Sounds like I don't have to say Enjoy! so I will say Good luck!
