Ha ha....guys that's my new wagon in for a little 'treatment'. We're just getting started, and the necessary safety items will be checked and r/r as necessary. When those are sorted, we'll move on with some mods.

Still debating on whether to keep on switch out the chrome 8-holers lol....

EDIT: No V8 in this guy....plus, I have no plans to try to make an AMG clone. My CLK55 handles the performance duties in our house.

Apparently, the low mileage is due to the car sitting in spider habitat.
Officials from the state of Florida called and said they're coming to take your car back down there because of a rare spider living in the r/r wheel well last night. They have to return the car and hence the spider back to it's natural habitat.

So I stepped on it and told them it already had passed away due to the extreme pressure of stuffing 245's into those wheel wells. Your welcome.

BTW the price is right on those wheels!

Abso-freakin'-lutely! It needs a drop and is 'on the list', after all the other safety checks and repairs are done. It has been well-maintained, but needs some things to be an excellent driver for me, as I anticipated for a car with over 100K miles. Fluid changes, brake pads, new harnesses, and a list of other cosmetic fixes will be addressed prior to it being sent to the tint shop.

EDIT: Did I mention I was picky?

When the keys get handed back to me, I'll be ready to roll for a good while.

All black would be sick, we could continue the Star Wars theme too Shadow has the storm trooper and you could have the Darth Vader Kombi

P.S. No, I am not a Star Wars geek

lol....I've decided to give mbenzman some artistic license with the car and he convinced me to let him spray/tint the yellow and reverse portions of the tail lights. He's also working on some other ideas....

Tint shop will have the car tomorrow or Friday.

Better watch out, the artistic police issued a warrant for my arrest and are trying to revoke my artistic license.

They almost caught with this weapon.



Next pic, applying some artistic pressure on the fenders to convince them that they will like these AMG wheels and 245's .
