you guys sure have a lot of C55 down in SD.

I saw a black C32 on my way home the other day that had chrome rims. the only C32 on this forum that has chrome rim was amgmark, but I'm not sure that was him because he's from SD.

Actually I don't know about that. It seems like they were all in hiding for the last 5 months then all of a sudden they just all appeared in the last 2 weeks.

Surprised to hear of female driver spots. More power to them, but personally have seen no chicks driving C32 or C55. Any guesses as to ratio? I would imagine:

VW Beetle: 90% women, 10% men;
C-AMG: 90% men, 10% women!

Wrong state but I saw my cars twin today and only the second C55 I have seen on the road. I don't think the driver recognized my car, maybe because of the CLK grill?

Thumbs up Saw 2 C32s Back to Back...

I've got my 2 daughters 8 and 9 years old looking out for C32s or AMGs and my little 8 year old saw a silver one with a For Sale sign going north on the 605 near Cerritos last week in stop and go traffic around 15:30 then 30 seconds later, while we were all excited about the first one, we saw a second one with a girl driving it. What are the odds of that since I've owned mine I'd only seen 2 in LA.

I get looks from people in BMW's or Porches mainly. I love the red color and whith chrome wheels it looks good
