GLK350 4matic
Hello - Newbie from West Viginia
Hello - A few days ago I swapped my Jaguar S Type for a new GKL350 4Matic. I like to do the PM on my cars myself, and, look forward to seeking your advice, and, sharing my ownership experience with you. This is the first Benz I ever owned, and, I've got a lot to learn about it.

Welcome! Where in WV do you live? I moved there in the summer of '09 and currently go to the med school in Lewisburg, WV, but will be living in Charleston this summer.

We live in Cross Lanes - just outside Charleston towards Huntington. Had a friend that graduated from the med school in Lewisburg not long ago.

It's an older restoration. Paint and interior are in pretty good shape. She's dead stock except for some fat chrome wheels w/radials, and, a homemade dual exhaust setup. I bought her this Summer, and, took her to a bunch of local cruise-ins and shows. She's only got 90 HP under the hood, and, about 60 is all she'll comfortably do on the interstate. I'm slowly dealing with her issues - a cranky shifter mechanism, a bit of rust underneath, and some other minor issues. I love "fat fenders" and she's the last of her kind.
