Lurker turned C55 owner
Hi there, my name is Kalvin and I like long walks on the beach.. .wait wrong site

Been lurking around for a while, almost picked up a C32 from a big poster on here and ended up going with a C55 I found locally. Picked it up for a pretty good deal (in my opinion) 2005 Mars Red C55 with 37k miles. I am glad to be part of the MB family.



Next to my buddy's CLK55 (Nachtsturm on here) right after I picked her up



I am the web administrator of www.chicagolandsrtclub.com and still have my neon srt4 to dump money into and break as well. C55 is my new reliable car lol.

Here is a pic and vid of the neon if you're interested





And finally the two together

Willkommen auf der dunklen Seite!

Definitely got a keeper there.

Congrats on the purchase! Is it just me or the C55 is a teeny bit lower than CLK55?
