Same old story, Huh? As soon as you get a new car, you start noticing all the ones like it. I had never seen any C32's around AV until I got mine. (I'm off Woodcanyon, by the way)

Hey Charles, remember we ran into each other at MBLN the day you were selling your C32? How's that E55 treating you?

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
Y'all may see me around. I live off Green River in Corona and head north on the 71 alot to avoid the parking lot --- aka 91. I would be up for a little show and tell. I just got my 02 C32 a few months ago. Silver and charchol interior. Great car but small issues galore....

Quote: 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..
I've seen a silver & a black C55 in that area, but both had stock wheels ... so it mighta been me.

you guessed wrong ... I'm usually focused on driving so I typically don't check out other drivers ... next time honk your horn & swerve into my lane ...

You'd need a CLS (or cop car) to get noticed by my wife.

I spotted a couple of modded c55s. Friday evening about 6:00 there was a silver c55 parked in the downtown area one street south of main st. Car had brabus wheels and a brabus badge instead of AMG badge.
Today (Saturday) I saw a black c55 with s roof spoiler at Bolsa chica and warner around 1 pm.
I've been seeing lots of c55s but rarely any c32s. Also, these were the first two c55s I've seen that had any kind of visible mods.

Looking for this C55 dude here.
There is a young guy. Either Latino or Asian. He has a silver C55.
He works in the Circle in the City of Orange. Car has no plates.
Normally in a ballcap sideways. Glasses. Little dude can just see over the
wheel. He needs a booster seat. He cant be more than about 5`3"

This guy is easy to spot.
HE DRIVES LIKE HIS HAIR IS ON FIRE.
Looks like he is 19 or 20 years old.

He takes the 55 Frwy to work in the morning north.
His idea of safe distance to the car in front of him is about 1 foot
at 80MPH. I flipped him off in my CL500 a couple times
when he comes up on my *** like an idiot in the fast lane.

He paddle shifts thru old Orange at about 60 in a 25 zone at 7:30
every morning.

My son ran into this guy in his new WRX the other night.
C55 dude was in Laguna Hills. Same driving style.
Total dick at the wheel. Cutting everyone off.
Driving his AMG as rude as possible.

Well C55 dude. If you hang here. And you want a real go.
Want to meet my SL55 someplace ?

Also. SLOW DOWN.
You dont have the experience to drive a C55 like that.

I doubt he is on this board.... if he is.... please represent with Class.. you are not driving a CIVIC hatback with a Teg Typer R engine.

Spotted a black C32 behind me in mission valley, went up the 15 south offramp from the 8.. Was lowered with different wheels. Didn't notice the car until too late or would have probably taken the same route.. ah well..

Hadn't seen another c32 in well over 6 months, now 2 in a few days..

Found the CL55 dude from So Cal.
This is him for sure.
Found him over on the AMG lounge.
MarioC55. He has pics posted.

Kinda flamed him a bit over there to slow down just a bit.
Nice car. Wonder how deep FJ got him for?
He is bragging about his free FJ carwash. So I bet they took him Deep !

Looks like he was a ricer before he traded up.
Now he just needs to change/upgrade his driving style to
match his AMG status.

Today 8:15pm on Pomerado Road in Scripps Ranch. Silver C-class with Renntech Kompressor badging on the back. Had wheels, exhaust and spoiler. Couldn't tell if it was a c32 or not. You were following a black SL.

Yes, I know this thread is for spotted C32's and C55's but I couldn't help but be envious of the AMG I spotted this morning. Someone left a nice Pewter 2006 E55 parked out on a hazardous street, Wolerine Way in Aliso Viejo, overnight. Newbie high school drivers fly by that spot, with only a few inches of clearence between moving and parked cars. Yikes.

Heck, I'd be sleeping in that beauty if I had to leave it out all night.

It's really rare for me to run into another C55, but this past week I've spotted 3 C55s while going to work.

1 Pewter C55 driving into the Cerritos Mall from Gridley St. in Cerritos
1 White C55 driving on Pioneer Blvd. in Artesia
1 Silver C55 driving down on Magnolia St. in Buena Park

All vehicles were stock.
