I've noticed that since driving this car, guys in trucks seem jealous. They act like they have such a large ego until they see me switch to sports mode and vroom away.

I wouldn't think Boston would be a place with too many big trucks. Up here, everyone works at the Oil Rigs and they have big jacked up Ford F350s and Dodge 3500s with smoke stacks. Biggest douchbags i know drive them, I don't have many kind words for truck drivers after sharing the roads with the ones up here.

I'll trade my C-class for your mom's E-class.

could you post a pic so that us may see the stance and type wheels too ... over size rims and low profile tires can lower the chassis as well if the previous owner installed lowering springs ... HOWEVER, if it is a CPO Mercedes then it is all OEM most likely ...

That sounds pretty awful Cillys, have you ever thought of using a VPN? I bought one when I was going to China for a month, and I was able to access anything, provided I could access the VPN.

The car has got to be lowered or the shocks/struts completely blown. There's no way a stock car should have to take bumps or driveways at an angle in order to not scrape.
When you say the car goes "boom", what does that mean? Are you scraping the front lip or do the tires feel like they're rubbing the fender?
Post a side shot of your car? We should be able to see whether you're lowered or not. You can do a quick check to see how much gap you have between the tire and the wheel well. Either the "how many fingers" scientific method or break out the tape measure.
