Spotted a beautiful granite or flint? gray c32 on the 15 north getting off at Friars road this morning. Looked like an 04.. The driver was probably in his 70's?? with his wife.. It even looked like the car had custom wheels. I only hope to be as cool when I am in my 70's..

Spotted a silver C24 AMG today on the 805 south at about Miramar Rd..

Hey putting AMG stuff on your car is fine with me, but throwing an AMG badge on a C240 is posing

I pulled up next to him and just shook my head..

Ok...been reading in these forums for a while and I must admit I have the black 2006 C55 with tinted windows black on black with personalized amg plates that is usually driving very fast around Newport Beach, Aliso Viejo and the 73, and yes I like mexican food.

What's the best subwoofer solution for loaded C55?

Hola, to a fellow AV'er. Can't help you with the subwoofer, but I think that Mi Tierra, on Aliso Creek, in the Tall Mouse center, serves some good, authentic Mexican.

I'm surprised I haven't seen you around. As a local Realtor, I'm always out and about local streets. I tend to notice all the C's, especially the 32's and 55's. If you see a silver C32 with stupid door magnets on the sides, honk at me.

I have a brilliant silver C55 I just bought out of state and brought to LA - I live in the South Bay (Manhattan Beach). It's stock with the premium package. I'm doing window tint and iPod integration this month (I'll take any suggestions on places to do it). I love this car! I've got a family and Porsche performance in a 4 door

Spotted a brilliant silver C32 a couple weeks ago heading west on Grand Ave., looked like a couple of guys in it. And saw a brilliant silver C55 heading West on the I-8 today. It had a CLK style grill (or do all C55 come w/ the Star grill), and i think it might of been a female driving.

I saw two silver C32s and one black one with chrome stock type-IV. yesterday and today. one of the silver one was driven by some asian lady. the other two I didn't see the driver, but I think the black one I've played tag with last time on 57 south bound because I remember the bling rims.

appearantly lot of these C32s are probably pre-owned as in most case because they most have new CA plates.

We liked what we saw in the area south of Chino Hills Pkwy and Peyton. We'll probably work our way north toward Grand Ave and back toward Walnut & Diamond Bar. I'd like a place with a view, but I'm sure it's gonna cost us.

Chino Hills's fine...property value raise quicker than DB or Walnut.

I live just off Grand. I usually only see this silver C55 with smoked tail light coming out of The Country behind me.

we should have a Chino Hills/Diamond Bar meet...LOL

Spotted a black C55 with Brabus wheels on the 805 south in the Kearny Mesa area. We were driving right next to eachother.. I was trying to look at the driver and give some props but dude was just too cool I guess.. His girlfriend/wife was giving my car the look over.. Nice car..

Only the second C55 I have seen on the road and the first black one..

a C32 AMG & S-Works Tarmac
After reading this thread again, earlier today, I was thinking about the 32's and 55's I haven't been seeing recently. Then, just like that, I saw the local Brilliant Silver C32, with chromies, tuning off of Woodcanyon Rd. in Aliso Viejo. I was beginning to think he (or she) might have gotten rid of the car. Nice to know my car still has a sibling in the hood.

Geez, two days and two more C32's. Saw a rare White C32, appropriately, near MBLN yesterday. Could not see the driver due to glare. Just today I saw a nice black one with chromies, in Aliso Viejo, with a woman behind the wheel.
