Red is so nice because of its rarity and insinuation of speed. I like the pics, but think that you need to invest in a tripod... to me the pics looked a bit wavy. Sexy car and I love the parking garage location.

thanks for the comments...i actually was setting the camera on the railing or resting it on that yellow barrier that you can see in a couple pictures. I tunrned my digital camera onto night mode and when its in that mode it takes about 2 seconds to capture the picture. I had to turn it onto night mode cause the pictures were just way too dark. I'm not the greatest photographer so i didnt really know what else to do

very nice man, while its nice that silver doesnt ever get real dirty, I miss having a car that I can spend an afternoon detailing to where it just screams at you when its done. love the look of a freshly detailed wet red car. what products do you use?

PS - I dig the stock wheels!

Looks great, especially the AMG turbine wheels!! I have the same set on my silver C55. Red definately looks meaner. Think the turbine/18 spoke AMG's look alot better on the C55 than the OE 5 split spoke whees.
