Chris from west suburbs of Chicago

Just bought my first Mercedes, always admired them. I'm on a super budget, so I bought one that had some issues for a good price and I have been reading the hell out of these forums for the past two weeks. Excited to finally join in the conversation. I need help, lol.

I miss Chicago, lived in Naperville for 10 years. Such a charming city. I don't miss the snow and the sub zero degree!

I'm in Naperville myself and I grabbed a 97 E320. The below freezig temps are definitely not my favorite either, luckily we just finished that season, time for open roads and garages.

No kidding? Whereabouts? I grew up around Neuqua Valley, now I'm over by Benet Academy. What kind of MB do you have? Nice to have somebody close.

I am less than a mile from Nequa. I am near Deering Bay Rd and 95th St. I own lots of Mercedes/AMG's actually. I actually own the worlds fastest Mercedes, my 2008 1200 hp CLK63 Black Series, I also own a 900hp 2012 C63 Black Series and an 850hp 2014 SLS Black Series(my sig photo below). I also own a 2013 GL550 which my wife drives as ell as a rare AMG Ducati motorcycle. Already on the list for the new 2015 AMG GT, I should get the first or second one in the country, expect it here early Feb.
