Ah, finally some sun!

Man, Chicago has some ****ty weather recently.

No more clounds today! Only blue and sun light! And a black C55 ripping it up at every long stretch of road!

So yeah, there's been an itching to get the RPMs high and the wheels spinning for a while, since I hadn't driven it in a while. I saw a couple other AMGs today too that I normally haven't seen before, a silver E55 and a nice black S55 dropping kids off at school, and when I left school a silver SL55 driving the opposite direction (possibly another parent to pick up a kid).

Other than the original pics I have from when I got in summer, I don't think there are any more...

First two are with my friend's ML430.

Anyways, when I have some time I'll get some better pics after a real car wash.

Nice pics. Took the C32 to the car wash to clean all the salt and dirt off it yesterday. Supposed to be close to 50F this weekend here in Chicago! Spring is soooo close I can taste it!

Same here, I go to Loyola Chicago, We're on break this week. It's the earliest Spring Break I've heard of so far. Your facebook MB group doesn't seem to be doing too well, Barrington-ites aren't the only ones w/ MBs ya know.

I put the 19" Brabus Monoblock VI Replica's back on and got it washed, finally. Weather reporter said we might hit 60 next week. Time for a get together??? Soon, hopefully..


By the way, saw a silver C32 yesterday by my condo making a right turn on Clark off of Harrison, downtown. Looked very nice!!!



Cheers to better weather!!
