Just felt like saying I miss my C43, how rare was the dark gray almost black exterior and two tone interior 99 C43?

If anyone bought that car in WA state, that was my baby. It had black and silver two tone seats.

Also it had a serious problem with the brakes, I did a burnout one day and then the next day the brake pedal felt like a brick and the car was almost impossible to stop, and it happened on a hill, it was a very terrifing event!

The dealer towed it and fixed it, said it was the booster???!??

That was the only problem I had with the car although and very big and scary problem it was, I thought brakes goin completely out only happened in movies!
