I'm proud of my 320!

Last night while coming back home, this guy in a black Chev. LUMINA kept revving me at the lights. Well, naturally I did'nt look and immediately switched off my ESP.

Not knowing that his ride ws exactly, I accepted his challenge. Lights turned amber ( not the case in the US i heard) WE FLOORED IT!!!!!!

We were nose to nose from start to about.... i'd say 150 mtrs. Then he pulled away and when I saw the SS badge on his hood.... I freaked out!!

I LOVE MY BENZ... it has'nt let me down yet... but then again pick your challenges carefully... this was a close call!!!

Please, does anyone have a website that will translate Sungulent's posts? I want to understand them, but everytime I try to read them, I want to rub my eyes with Brillo Pads.

damn CLKs ...justkidding

but my dad always put my sister's 2000 CLK320 in the garage and my 02 C32 is left outside

just FYI we do have three car garage but the one on the right is full of junk. and in the middle garage is my dad's 96 Jag XJ-12 which my older bro think it's a worthless crap but i think that is one fine machine and great looking too. so, with my sister's CLK320 and my dad's Jag in the garage my C32, my brother's 97 528, my dad's ML430, and the 1.8T Beetle, and ofcourse the minivan are all outside to collect dust.

ML 500

If I'm not mistaken, when the ML 430 was replaced by the ML 500, the price did not increase by that much. It will be interesting to see if that is also the case with the W208 CLK 430 and the W209 CLK 500. However, in this case it is more than just a bigger engine, it is a whole new car.

ha! sorry, i think that's hilarious, the C32 gets the short end of the stick.........but at least you have the space to keep your car close. parking is such pain where i live that i have to use a monthly pass to a public garage.

fine...just laugh at my misfortune

forgot to mention that i'm only home during the weekend and during weekdays i'm at my school and i have a closed garage at my apt...

but 2 cars in the garage and 5 on the driveway at my house during the weekend is still quite scary. quite a view.
