Hello friends been a while
Well life takes precedence thus I've been away a while doing other stuff yes the C32 is with me and it's a joy to own..but lately I haven't been into it maybe I've owned it to long maybe I just want something else. I've always expressed interest in the CLS55 and since the new one came out prices are becoming more favorable but alas late entry and thou looking maybe in a year or 2 I've taken a big liking to the Nissan GTR very impressed with it's effortless prowess...and DD abilities but can be a instant 10 sec car with not to much...atleast that's what I'm told anyways I'm not a huge fan of it's looks at first but it's becoming sexier the more I see it...

F car, P car, or GTR
. Been contemplating that as well. I've been tinkering around with the C32 lately to keep me interested. I don't think i'll ever sell her b/c it's just not worth it. i guess I just want a new toy. Hopefully the responsible side of my head will keep me grounded

When I get the itch, I go out and test drive a bunch of cars. Then come back and detail mine- for some reason that gets me all excited about my car again.

I too am still sporting the C32 and C55 SC. Wishing for a GTR (2013) BUT that ain't going to happen. Both cars are still sick fast for the $$$ and been very reliable too!! Hope this finds everyone on the C32/55 forums well. Seems like the ole school guys are all starting to sell now and get into other things. I just can't part with the 32 for some reason. Its like a first-born child.

Vic, GTR is an awesome car, BUT they're not really negotiating too much on them and also the insurance etc can be lofty as well. Give it some real thought before signing on the dotted line. I almost traded the 32/55 in for a 2012 and now I am oh so GLAD I did not. Also, rumor on GTR forums is that the 2014 is being changed AGAIN

Hey Vic, nice to see you posting again!! (not that you'll ever read this anyway!!!).
I too am still sporting the C32 and C55 SC. Wishing for a GTR (2013) BUT that ain't going to happen. Both cars are still sick fast for the $$$ and been very reliable too!! Hope this finds everyone on the C32/55 forums well. Seems like the ole school guys are all starting to sell now and get into other things. I just can't part with the 32 for some reason.

It's nice to see some of us old timers, hanging onto our old C32's, with pride.
I don't know if you heard the news that splinter sold his a couple of months ago. That was a tremendous loss for our community.
I hope we don't lose you, too, anytime soon.

I'm still using my C32 daily and am continuing to modify it in preparation for the fall racing season. Just ordered a 2013 GLK and I do have an interest in a 08-09 997 turbo, but that's for next year. In any case, the C32 is staying.

It was really hard to let go my C55.. I still miss it... I'm sure the new owner is enjoying the car as much as I did.
Newzchspy, We should def plan something (small gathering, gokart, coffee, whatever) before da winter time.. haha

Quick, we can do Carts in Melrose Park some day next month if you'd like. They occasionally have Groupon's for those too.
FYI, my C32 has only 42 K original miles and the 55 Kleemann is ONLY at 25.

The Sienna SE (a true sleeper if there ever was one) has been keeping the miles low on the Mercs. Its a genuine 15 sec qtr minivan at about 93 MPH and will embarass many a lower level sport car in acceleration and handling. Plus, it hauls 8 to boot!!!
