2009 C300
Hello from South Florida

Hello everybody, new to the forums and new to MB altogether. I just recently leased a C300 and man was I blown away!

The car is mainly for the wife to drive but I find the handling super addicting. I drive a 2008 Mustang GT 5sp with 430RWHP/512RWTQ daily and although the benz is not as fast in a straight line, the overall driving dynamics are insane.

Here are a few shots:

(These were taken in my driveway last night so please bare with the bad quality)





Oh and this is my daily:

Nice wheelz...give your wife the Mustang (when the trim starts falling off in a few years, you'll have plausible deniability) and go C3.

Welcome...

NICE 'STANG! Still one of my favorite cars of all times is the Mustang. Sure it has had its ups and downs but it is still a great ride.
