You're kidding about the Type R emblem, right?

Nice car and nice story.

Welcome and a very uplifting and motivating story you have there. Glad to see in the end you ended up getting to your goal by hard work and dedication. Thats what matters.

The type R emblim and the AMG stickers was a joke I am assuming?

You are a ******* boss, Believe that.

Good luck with the rest of your life bro, hope it goes better than your past.

As for the car? Best choice possible.. Looks like a real clean one too, great choice man!!

As for mods..? Go for the LED Sidelights, LED Intierior and LED Number plate lights.

Get some light tints on the three rear windows and upgrade the front lights to projectors and possibly paint the grill back.

That will transform the look of the car, if thats what you wish to do?

My CLK is special to me to, I love it. I dont care how old it is, its still my perfect/dream car.

Story is nearly identical to mine. I was young, uneducated, and homeless. Now I work for a government contractor in Network Security and drive my 55 daily. Cheers on the car, enjoy every moment. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome & Congrats. The rare power of the Internet and Technology is that you can self-study and be self-taught driven by your own initiative and find success.

Don't ever let up, keep studying, keep hustling!

For upgrades, keep it clean, simple. Blackout treatment, swap out Benz logo for subtle AMG badging. Maybe an exhaust tweak and/or ECU. These cars are the ULTIMATE sleepers, even moreso than other AMG Benzes, enjoy!
