New to the family

I've been lurking on here unregistered, reading info on the different AMG models. I decided to register since I put money down on a 2002 C32 AMG yesterday, and will be picking it up next week sometime. Instead of filling the board up with lots of dumb questions, I'll just keep searching and reading, but just wanted to drop in and say hi.

I'll take some pictures when it arrives at its new home. I'm already starting to look into mods that won't void a warranty. It never ends.

Hello and welcome!

edit: you're lucky my friend... a LOT of AMG enthusiasts are in your backyard - AMG Jerry, c32used, ChicagoX, loungin14, etc., to name just a few! I hope you find the forums to be as valuable and worthwhile as I do... they've saved me major $$$ and exponentially increased the enjoyment of my vehicles at the same time. Best wishes and good luck.

^^ yeah that!

I TOTALLY didn't realize you were in Chi-town, RB.

1/2 of LET Motorsports is here in Houston. The other half (AMG Jerry) is up in Chicago.

You have some MONSTER C32's in your area.

I'm looking forward to learning more about this car and meeting the locals. It's always fun meeting owners that share your same passion.

MRAMG is very knowledgeable... but he's in Pittsburgh PA. Not sure how that qualifies as "in Redbull's backyard" of Chicago suburbs?
