Attention Lorinser CLK!

I saw your car last week at Muvico in the Valet parking lot. Parked to the right was a Black Ferrari Modena and on the left was my dad's Black S600.

Very awesome car.

So what movie did you see? lol.

Sorry to butt in to your conversation, but I couldn't help but agree that Black Hawk Down was awesome. I saw the CNN special covering the events that occured, and I must say that the movie seemed to follow it very well. The only thing I didn't notice was the hundreds of woman and children being shot as they too participated in the attack (according to Army Rangers inteviewed). Then again, I don't need to see that anyways.

The guy in the Modena was probably going to go stop off at the Ferrari dealer to get the car fixed so he can drive it for another 500 miles, haha.

I saw Blackhawk Down also.

I decided not to get the CLK55, instead I am getting an '03 C32 AMG.

Those wheel well vents on your car are so sexy!

You had these little fish gill looking things behind the wheel wells of your front wheels. They look stunning.

Hey Lorinser CLK, have you seen the new side skirt? What's your opinion since you have the other style?

I actually like the new one better. How long has that been available? I guess it's too late for me.

sorry to continue off topic, but black hawk down was a good movie. a couple of my friends are seals and they agreed that it was pretty realistic and accurate depicting the events of that day. also, lorinser clk, i am thinking about whether to get the dtm lorinser front or carlsson rs front bumper. my main concern is how durable/strong are those fog lights. i love those huge lights, but how long have you driven on it and how many rocks/pebbles from the road has it taken and if there are any cracks or chips already?

Foglights are very durable. I have only had the kit for about a month but haven't had any problems. They are Hella foglights with a bracket made by Lorinser to fit their kit.
