C55 Spotting tonight, Downtown Chicago
I was driving down Dearborn in downtown Chicago tonight and saw a tight C55, pewter in color. I tried to give a wave but my girl was telling me to pay attention to the road, being it was raining.

Car looks good man!!!

Ah sorry I forgot that your car got a little scratched up. Out of curiosity, what kind of rental did the insurance give you?

Spanking brand new Pontic G6 baby!
Actually, I was surprised with the power of this little thing untill I noticed that avarege MPG was 21.8. I mean what's the point of having compact car if you getting almost same milage as a V8.

P.S. I did stay at a Holliday Inn the night before they gave me rental and I did requested AMG car......the look on the face of HERTZ salesperson when he asked me 'what is AMG? - priceless!

I think I've seen that car before... Thought that might have been me you saw...but I was still up North at that time.

I was in Lincolnshire watching 300.

There's always a pewter C55 and a silver C32 in the 900 N Michican parking lot.

+1. Pewter is beautiful. It make the car look so elegant. It's also a nice change from all the silver Benzs.
