Seattle sighting!

Saw a black c55 with smoked tails heading southbound on i5 near downtown Seattle...tried to catch up with it but waaay too much traffic to get close at all. Was it anyone here on the board?

It might have been the black c55 I wanted to buy from keros in edmonds (btw, dont buy there if you have to, shady *** dealership) in january when i was overseas...but it sold one week before I came home. Not too many black c55's running around here...

I just moved from Boston to Seattle 2 weeks ago.

Haven't seen many w203 amgs on the road, but i'll keep a look out.


Perhaps there is a w203 meet somewhere in Washington?

there just aren't that many C55s in the Seattle area to begin with - maybe 4-5 different ones I've seen while driving around.

Get the vancouver ppl involved too....Ton of AMGS up there.
Maybe they can smuggle some of that BC gold down for you.

I love Seattle, one of my favorite cities, but if you're a car enthuiast you sitting alone in a dark room with one candle. People dont care about their cars up there. Usually just trucks, subarus, and beaters.

I don't agree with you,

I understand there aren't many C55, but there are tons of E55 and S55.

I have seen so many different AMGs here

and here in Northwest (oregon and Seattle) has big Ferrari people.

BTW, I believe there is only one DTM in here SEattle
