Sold it..
I just bought a house recently, having my first kid at the end of the year so it was time to get into a "family car". It was either sell the Benz or the Supra, so the Benz had to go, I do miss it but I do not miss the stupid quirks and high cost of parts, but it was a pretty B*tch lol..
So what car replaced the Benz? a Nissan Rogue, thats right a ROGUE!
The only thing that is remotely similar I have had in he past is a 02 Land Rover Discovery on 22's but that was just a pahse that lasted less then a year, I hated that car and will never purchase another LR. I purchase a Rogue because I need a dependable car for the family needs, I did not want a Van or a full size Suv so the Rogue fit my needs, I was mainly looking at a CX-7, X3, CR-V, and a few others of that type. I could not find a CX-7 in the price range I like and felt a turbo car was not something I wanted for a family car (the supra is my boost happy car), the X3 was to much of a maintance queen (been through to many German cars and know the headach it brings), in the end the Rogue is the best value I see for the money. No more fun cars here except for the Supra, I am enjoying the Rogue for wat it is and feel that it will meets my needs just fine.

So as it stands I have the Rogue, the beater celica, and the weekend warrior

The car I sold for the Rogue: 2005 Mercedes Benz CLK500 AMG Package








The Beater: Celica

The Weekend Warrior: 1994 Supra Turbo, 559RWHP, built high stall auto, meth injection, etc...

No good pics of the Rogue yet, just some crappy shots I have so far..

Mods so far is
*OEM upgrade front grill
*OEM Rear Spoiler
*OEM Rear bumper guard
*OEM Exhaust tip
*6k HID

only other things I plan is maybe some wheel down the line, not sure about that because i the end its just a baby wagon so saftey is the main concern.




Just wanted to say it was fun, I was and is a pimp car but i the end I dont think I will buy another one, instead I will probably only lease one if I step back into a german car. Thanks for the help and infomation guys, have a good one and happy modding.

Congrats on the house and family.
Sorry to see you leave the club, but it looks like you have a serious addiction already with that Supra...


Cheers

Wow that supra looks crazy. Good call on the benz. Supra values are going up!

Hi guys,

So i had my baby boy on 12/30/2010 and been living in the new house since June. Life is good!

just stopping by to say hi.. No benz still yet, I did talk my parents into a new GLK350, after owning a few benz and letting my dad drive he was hooked.
I also have a few parts I found, OEM Benz C350 car cover that will fit on a c320 and CLK500, I used it before on both so I know. Of course it does not fit perfect since it is for another model but it works and is OEM, I also have a Fleece oil filter (mann OEM filter) for the CLK500. Pm me if interested.

Good to hear from you again, congrats on the new addition to the family! Wife couldn't hold out till the eve of the 31st eh?

Clkboi

Hi there,
Hope you get the GLK and start mooding that thing.
How much for the car cover?

thegeneraltso

A gently used W211 wagon would have been good

AzCamel

hahah, yeah but her due date was the 30th anyways so it worked out just fine, the baby boy is great and such a blessing to us. I can not think of anything I have been more proud of, even if he just sleeps all the time! lol.


I am looking for 150 plus shipping for the cover and filter.
The GLK is my parents, just glad I could get my dad to splurge a little, funny thing is that it was the same cost than his other Honda (fully loaded Pilot), glad he got something with more luxury. My parents are old school Asian and only likes Honda, Toyota, and Lexus. (LOL stereotype).

Never...well unless it that badass Audi wagon that is out. I was tossing around the idea of the X3, GLK, and a few other ones but I had to be grown up and get something without payments. I basically traded my CLK for the Rogue straight up so I do no have a single car payment.

In the end I have a new house, a great mother for my baby, and most of all my baby boy Cayden. Oh, and I still have the Supra! It is neglected in the garage but at least it is still there. Here are a few updated pictures.

Wow! What an awesome Supra! I have not seen one better gooding than this. Congrats on the baby and being a family man! Every man needs a fast and awesome machine to balance things in life.

Kevwood

I totally believe that and am very happy for you and you wife but it's a little amusing that you say that then follow it with NINE new pictures of your Supra

Beautiful ride and congrats again mate.

dynomite05

Congrats on the baby and the supra! That thing looks great!
