2008 Mercedes C300 4Matic Sport Sedan
New to the Forums

Hey everyone,
I wanted to take a second to introduce myself as I'm new to the MBWorld forums. I'm not, however new to car forums, and have been an active member of a few different sites. I just sold my 2008 STi and got a 2008 C300 4Matic Sport. I wanted to go from something that I would describe as a "raw" driving experience where I'm satisfied at least once or twice every time I drive it, to something that made me feel satisfied the entire time I drive it. The C Class fits that.

I have had tons of cars and am more than a "weekend warrior" mechanic. All of my friends and family come to me when they have car problems or questions. I read and do my research and look forward to learning from all of your experience. I build motors (did on my Subaru too), body work and paint, electrical - especially audio, and I have an itch to change cars and experiment. Most of the time my experiments work out well and the visual outcome is tasteful and one-of-a-kind.

Enough rambling. I am happy to be here, and can't wait to offer something valuable for one of your cars for the first time.

Oh and my name is Brad.

Welcome to the forum Brad. Wow talk about a big shift in vehicles, going from an STI to a MB as those cars are about as different as possible.
