You know, if someone would just order up some decent weather, I'd love to arrange a meet of some kind before winter really sets in.
(Right after I figure out why I got a CEL, that is.)

Check Engine Light, my friend.
Alas, everything's in order again. The warning light came on, I'm fairly certain, simply because the gas cap wasn't screwed on quite right, causing the absence of the vacuum pressure needed in the fuel line. The sensors pick up on this and automatically activate the CEL. After tightening the fuel cap once more, and cycling through a number of ignition starts and stops, the sensors reset themselves and now the warning's gone.

And Supafly, Jeffield, and Yooker, you guys should all get together to host a detail day. I've never seen anybody so dedicated as you three are when it comes to detailing!

Get some Collinite 845, 2 coats of that and it'll last the entire winter.

Well, the AMG is now put away for the wet/snowy season, and the winter tires have gone onto the S4. I guess it'll be a few months before I get into the C63 again.

im going for either brushed face chrome lip, or white face chrome lip, i've narrowed it down to about 3 diff sets, all thin 5 spokesAs for the front plate, I haven't ran one on any of my cars since I got my license 5 years ago, so far i've got about maybe 10 tickets. But i've disputed two of them so far and won lol. No tickets in the CLS yet, i'm on my 6th month with it (knocks on wood)

you got some good taste in wheels
thin 5spoke is definitely my choice for the ClS55
