2003 C240
Hello!

Hey everyone!

Long story short... I got out of the military in 2002, jacked around for too long until I hit 30, had a kid on the way, and decided to get out of the sticks. Got two degrees and moved to the Bay area for a job in San Bruno. Was on my way back home from work on my third day when I got rear ended so hard it broke my seat, totaled the car, and required fire/rescue to extricate me. (I was already doing 60 so you can imagine how fast the guy who fell asleep at the wheel was going when he hit me - shoved the left rear wheel up under the passenger door).

So I got my settlement payout and was able to pay cash up front for a 2003 C240 with some decent options on it. It's champagne with tan interior and in really good condition with 112K on it. Absolutely no flaws in the paint or interior at all.

So, I've been out of the car enthusiast scene for a while (since I had to sell off my MK3 Supra) and I'm happy to be getting into this community and looking forward to meeting other enthusiasts in the area (since the Bay area is a long way from southeast Missouri). Hoping to find out where the reputable shops are locally (so I can have a little work done to the car), etc..

Take care everyone and see you around the forums.
