Hello From Southern California

Hi MBWorld members!


I just joined today and wanted to introduce myself. I just bought my first Mercedes a couple days ago (I was terribly leery of the maintenance/repair costs but what the heck - other cars are getting pretty expensive to fix too), but finally got convinced by the cozy comfort. It's an older (2002) C320 but it's in almost immaculate condition and I got it at a great price!


It has a few kinks (so far, faded display, battery drain from seat module & I need to get Bluetooth into it - I'll probably install my old Kenwood DNX9990HD head unit this week) but it didn't take me long to find this forum and great advice and how-to's. I have my new LCD display on the way and I have bookmarked the how-to pages.


I have previously owned a few 7 series BMWs, Volvo S80, Nissan Maxima, Toyota Corolla GTS & Toyota 4Runner - and not to forget my 1st car in high school: a Datsun 510. I hope this is a start to more MBZs in my garage in the future.


I look forward to interacting with you, learning a lot & hopefully learn enough to contribute something valuable on this great forum


Cheers.
Nathan

Thanks for the welcome! I'll try to get pics up soon - I'll probably wait until I mount the CLK wheels I just picked up for it. In the meantime, I'm trying to get some little things ironed out (me seat stopped moving back & forward :/ )
