hmm, you sure you want to do that?

I won't say anything bad. However a piece of advise, you will need to upgrade rotors and pads.

The stock ones are too weak and does not stand heat well.

it shouldn't be a problem upgrading the rotors/pads.....after owning a benz and paying premium prices for mods, HONDA parts should be cheap =)

that is so true.

coming from its siste car TL. Make sure you test drive it over speed bumps. The rattles might drive you crazy after a while.

Overall, it's a decent car with excellent nav.

i just had really bad luck with the car , starting with the body kit fiasco...... ever since, i've had lots of problems. I blew a tire on the freeway going 90MPH coming back from Cache Creek. If tha was all that happened, it woulda been all good...but since my car is so fricking low, when i drove it up the flatbed, and off the flatbed, my front bumper cracked in 2 places. So i just decided to get the $#hit fixed, and just unload the car. i don't wanna deal with any more problems. And with a brand spanking new car, hopefully there won't be any problems. =)

boy do I feel stupid... I thought you were talk about the MB CL class. Do they still make the CL? I thought they phased that model out.

Yeah they still make the CL. The new CL600 has the monster engine but only in limited numbers here in the U.S.

Guys, I may have to bail out a little early. My buddy just got his Mclaren back from the shop, and so he wants me to come check it out new and improved.

That said, I'll be there by 11am, but likely will have to bounce no later than 12.30.

Wow, there were quite a lot of benzes at this meet as compared to our last BBQ meet. It was nice meeting you all. What happened to AL??? You were the one that organized this event...

I know there were a few people with cameras at this event. Let's see your pictures...

Here's a couple pictures that I took at the meet. Since we didn't have a chance to organize all the cars to line up next to each other before everyone started leaving. I didn't take any pictures cuz it'll just look scattered. Only the C43s got the opportunity to pose for a few shots. It's kinda cool having four of the 1500 C43s ever made to be at this Bay Area meet. I'll be keeping an eye out there for you guys.
