Damn Straight. It's just too good!

As Karl always says: The W208 AMG is the best Mercedes ever made!

did you lower your car? If so, what did you do? Was it hard?Was it expensive?
I love the way it looks lower to the ground. I hate how high my CLK's butt looks up in the air!

Tnx VRAA -

Gottlieb Daimler agrees as well:

"That's why I maintain:
The 2002 CLK55 AMG Coupe is the best car ever produced since Karl Benz
patented the world's first motorcar in 1886, registered his patent DRP
37435, which is considered as the official birth certificate of the first motor
car!"

Question to MODERATER:
Why is max attachment only 1 byte??

Comment/Suggestion:
Make it 100 NANObytes -
or get a new server!!

AMG BRED: I'm just messin with ya!

Karl K! Yes!

The reason the attachment size is so small is because we overloaded the database earlier, Mr. Vanos is still fixing it.

i think I'd compare it to an M3 more than C32 soley because e46 M3s are coupes or cabs, not four door sports sedans...but I think they normally compare price and the CLK is definately in a class of its own if you consider price
