New Kid on the Block

Hey guys, just signed the papers on my new W205 C300. This will be MY first Mercedes although Mercedes has been in my family for years. My dad owned the 450 SL and my mom owned a 500 SEL when I was a kid in the 80s. When I was in high school my dad bought my mom a 99 S600 and now here I am with my C300 coming from my Audi A4. After driving the big 3 German cars for several weeks, I settled on the W205 because of its comfort and drivability.

Congratulations on your first Merc & welcome to the forum. I think the W205 has resulted in a lot of people buying into the brand for the first time. Hope you enjoy it and don't suffer any faults or niggles.

Thanks guys, here's a pic of the new car and of the Audi. I think I might throw the wheels from the Audi on the Benz until I get a new set since they're the same bolt pattern (5x112). Oh and and I'll throw up a pic of my bike too (being repaired from my accident).
