36 1/2 hehehe

Went from an M Coupe ( kid came ) to a 740i Sport (people thought I was 60 ) to a C230K Sedan in 3.5 years. I like it a lot even though it's sucking wind after 75+ mph compared to the 2 bimmers I had.

There's a 16 year old kid working at my local Quizno's who recently obtained a 2004 C230K SS. He doesn't have a license yet, he works at Quizno's, and he has a C230K SS. So much for Mercedes exclusivity.

39 This is my first MB. I bought it used becouse it seemed like a very good deal and I wanted the safety of a Benz. 02 C230K Coupe. 5sp auto, Pano roof. No other options that I am aware of. I bought this car after I was in an accident that totaled my Honda Insight Hybrid . I was getting 84mpg at the time. That is important becouse I drive 65 miles each way. The Benz has turned out to be a very comfortable ride that I really enjoy driving. Before my Honda, I was driving my 97 Dodge 2500 HD 4x4 with the 8.0L V10 and a 5 speed. I still have the truck to tow my 5th wheel trailer. Talk about torque.

True. These cars are just slightly above averaged priced commuter sedans and hatchbacks. Not like MB's of, say, 20 years ago.

84mpg!! Wow! How was the power on that thing?

I'm 23, this is my second MB. Got my first one ('97 C280 Sport) when I was 16 and I finally upgraded it recently... The w202 was great, no major complaints at all, very reliable even after 8 years.

After having a black/black MB, I should have realized what a pain it is to take care of black/black...

Can we please see pics of the G-Wagon? I want to see how little it's changed over the years...

Thanks
