You'll have to put it all together

for
my
mercedes
.
com

I can't recall which exactly it is, but I like the look of it - I don't prefer the color matched ones in general.

I think it was like $289 or something to that effect?...might've been less, don't recall and took about 15 minutes to install or less.

Awesome shots, Bif. What's being stored, the AMG or the Helos?

Mosquitos mostly and 37mike is for charters - there are some more Bells at another hangar (guy has like 18 altogether) for crop dusting.

The AMG is being stored - sad days ahead - on the up side I got an S4 for my winter beater and that's fun as hell. My first stick - W00t!!! Stage II+ and it's a riot to drive.

So, Bif, I'm still not quite sure. Are you Rotary wing pilot or do you have friends that run this business and let you store your car there?

Sorry, thought this addressed it:

'guy' is not me

I don't think there's room in there for my car, so no I'm not storing it there - I'm not a pilot in any way, but I have friends who fly and I've had some impromptu lessons. These choppers belong to a friend of a friend who let us use the hangar to take pictures. My real name is John, I'm 6' tall, straight and married with two kids. I like long walks on the beach and sci fi movies

Guess you'll have to post a tri-fold photo of yourself now, without the Hawiian shirt.

Thanks Bif, I found the grille and ordered it yesterday... my second mod!!!

POWER-FADE... are those stock 17" AMG wheels on your C55 with winter tires? I'm considering putting winter tires on my stock 17" AMG wheels, then getting a set of 18s with summer tires in the Spring.
