2005 CLK-500
Hey just got my first car!!

Hey everybody, my name is zach and I'm from New Jersey. I'm 17, shhhhh don't tell the mods. I just bought my first car yesterday and it is a 2005 CLK-500 Avantgarde. It is Pewter Metallic and has 42,xxx miles on it. I am absolutely in love with the car. I plan on doing all the oil changes and all the DIY maintainence I can do. The car is basically in mint condition other than the front bumper because the owner before most likely had a very steep driveway and or didn't know how to pull it in. I will post my own pics on Tuesday when I have access to a computer. (I'm a photographer, smart phone pictures urk me)

.....it is cool to start out (your first car) way up on the food chain.

Hopefully your 10-year-old MB (but with lo miles) should bring you many smiles often............
