Hey Guys, just thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm Damen, and last night I traded in my '06 Lotus Elise for an '09 C63. (dont worry, my wife still has her Exige S! haha)

Let's see, car history for me:
'00 Supercharged Miata
'99 Corvette
'08 Evo X GSR
'06 Lotus Elise
'07 Sky Redline (still have this)
'02 BMW M3
and a few other that are escaping me right now.

Gallery of pictures of my new Merc are up here:

Obviously these are all the dealership pictures - I havent had a chance to take any of my own yet.

If anyone has suggestions for mods/tuners/whatever I am happy to hear them. First thing to be done: getting rid of that awful wood interior lol. Anyone know where I can pick up the CF replacement pieces?

Looks great man, wood trim is alright. Saw one here who covered them with carbon fiber vinyl. Looked really nice.

Well, "Congrats" lucky you I pulled the trigger last week. Problem, I am in a different State, where the car is being shippedI PCS in April, plus the car going to Tx is cheaper than coming where I am. Got a great deal from a friend of a friend. With all the extras. Time & patience sometimes wins out thanks again Kaylen

It was excellent.
My only complaint is that they've been slow with paying off my traded-in car :-/
Aside from that, it really was the best car-buying experience I've ever had

You bought this from Select Auto Imports, which happens to be a stones throw from me.
