When I first started looking at MBs, I was turned off because I had a manual BMW and didn't want anything but a manual, but then since my wife was going to need to drive my car occasionally, I needed to get something auto and the decision was pretty easy then. Is pretty weird that MB has extremely high-end vehicles and they are autos.

C classes are the most boring looking cars, but with exterior mods, they become big attention getters. They go from one end of the spectrum to the other.

CLS 550 / C300 S


this just happened to me twice yesterday

I was on the 101 freeway heading north when this group of teenagers in a old pickup pulled up next to me in traffic and yelled "nice whip bro"

Then at sams club, there was a couple probably in their late 20s staring at my car.. I thought they hit it or something, but when I came up to them and asked if i can help them with something, they said, "oh no man, just like the car, thinking about getting one as well."

My ultimate favorite though is at night... Having my windows tinted always attracts attention (luckily cops never seem to care). I love it when I stop at an intersection on a red light and people always try to squint through the tint to see who's inside the car. I lol and put the window down enough to show my head. LOL

I know a lot of us in here have had that experience more than once.
