2010 W204 Black/Black
New Guy from SoCal

Hello everyone. I just thought I'd drop a quick introduction and thanks, as I'm the proud owner of a new to me 2010 C300 Sport black/black (25k mi). The "thanks" is because I used several resources, including this forum, to learn a little about these cars before making my purchase.

A little about me:

My name is Joe and I have an addiction....automobiles. This is however, my first luxury car. Due to my former profession in the automotive aftermarket industry I've always owned something that was fast and loud, lifted or lowered, etc.

About 5 years ago I made a big jump in careers which required me to drive all over sunny SoCal. I also made THE most bland automotive related decision I've ever made and bought a new Toyota Camry - I needed the MPG and just settled for something that I could put some wear & tear without regret. I quickly felt the need for another project so I picked up a Jeep Wrangler (my other current passion) that I've since turned into a weekend rock crawling beast and also have spent way more money on than I'd like to admit.

Well I recently decided that I've suffered the boredom of the Camry long enough and since I now drive much less than I use to a few years back, I decided to move into something I could enjoy driving every day. I did some research a little hunting and found this one owner, completely stock gem and I am in LOVE!

I can already tell you where this is headed...$$$ Oh we'll. I look forward to taking this journey with you all.

Hasn't been announced yet, but just keep an eye on the socal events section on this forum. We'll probably also post on the w204 section as well.
