Well its official, I went and looked at the car, fell in love(as you and I had assumed would happen) and I am now the proud owner of a 2006 Black Pearl C55

In all its stock glory






Now, I’m brand new to the good old car world, my past love was a 2003 Ford Ranger; which I modded.. well just a bit =)





(it sometimes was clean )


As for my current forum name, I actually made this account a year ago when I was helping my friend with his 98 SLK, so I asked a few admins if they would update it to my name from my Ranger forum (Mr. Special)

oh and one last thing... I'd love to meet some of you fellow Southern California-ers(?), so we should get a little meet and greet together

-Sean

You'll love the C55! I see you have the Birds Eye Maple trim (I think that's what it's called?) - very unique and somewhat rare.

Did you get that car at MB of Anaheim Hills?

I was just looking at the MB site for certified pre owned C55's and saw a 2006 pearl black C55 on their inventory. If I remember right it had fairly low miles.

Nice purchase!

congrats on the new purchase, hope you get to drive yours more than I am getting to drive my new one. Nothing but snow up where we are. And the C55 isn't allowed out in the white stuff.

Enjoy!

No snow down here.. haha, so its 365 driving here =)

As for mods Marc, probably just Tint and replace the front emblem with the flush one(let me know where/when you get yours). Dont want to do any performance mods on this one due to the warranty and such... along with the cost of doing said mods =p

oh and the ranger unfortuantly had to be sold to help pay for this new investment
