I'm new to the Forums

I'm flying to Vegas this afternoon to pick up my New car. I bought a 2002 CLK55, I'm stoked. I had one lined up at RAB motors in Marin but the *******s sold it out from under me. I found this on on ebay. My father has had a 560 SEL since it was new and he loves it so I'm excited to become a MB owner! I have a few pictures from the dealer...

Welcome, You bought the blue one with the two tone interior. Verry pretty.
