I'll def look out guys.

I don't know if this was related to this site, but once on Newbury st. I swear I saw like 5 or 6 sick black Benzes cruising together... I think I remember a C43, a couple S classes, not sure what else... but they were tuned... deep exhausts, saw some Brabus action.

Cousin has a stock black C55 - he lives near tremont street downtown - I convinced him to trade in his modified C5 vette and go AMG

I drive a Silver 04 C32 AMG w/ no front license plate I'm downtown a lot, many times at night in the bars on boylston street - say hello, if you ever see me!

You'll never see me drinking and driving I'm really careful about that. I always pass my keys along to sober one -- I wish I could say the same for others driving at 2am on a friday or saturday night


Over the summer, I saw some chick in an SUV driving to alewife from downtown - she pulled into the first fresh pond rotary going the wrong way - thank God, the guy in the passenger seat made her stop the car - got out of the car, walked to her driver side door and made her get out. Then started yelling at her to get in the passenger seat. He should have never let her drive in the first place

I have a C55 and my niece goes to Tuffs. I presume that she was not, however, driving my car, since I live in Nebraska.

Derrick, that's probably the C55 I saw... The kid who was driving it was Asian, black C55.

He was chilling outside of my dorm in his ride.

I might know your friend, what's her name?

I just looked her up on the Facebook... She is my year but I don't think I've met her.

I do have a lot of friends in common with her though, and I know a few ppl from Hong Kong who probably know her.

Guys, we should meet up somewhere. I drive a VW but I hope you wouldn't mind if I show up and drool over your cars for some time. I absolutely love the AMG cars, and Benzes are part of my blood.

Maybe we could meet up for coffee somewhere? Any big lots around Cambridge?

I don't really want to organize anything because it would be kind of comical considering I don't even drive a Benz

The tint must look great. I have 35% on my car and I think it makes the car look a lot more complete and sleek.

Got any pics?

BTW, I spotted a black C32 or 55 (couldn't tell because it was debadged and I passed it quickly) parked in Harvard Square today. Any of you guys?

At first I had 35% on front windows, and deeper shade on the rear windows, but it was too dark could not see anything at night so I changed them back to 35% all around. It looks better with 35% all around imo.
