2012 CLS550, 1994 Chevy K1500
Greetings from Minnesota

Enjoying my CPO 2012 CLS550 4Matic in Storm Red, purchased last week with 2,961 miles on the odometer. Handling icy roads and subzero (Fahrenheit, mind you) temperatures with aplomb, the car more so than I.

There are a lot of nice rides here. I probably won't do much to the stock configuration of mine, and given that yet another snowstorm is coming in two days, I certainly won't be lowering it. I'm enjoying the excellent info posted here.

Will do. I've been working, so it's dark when I go to work, dark when I leave. Will try to get pics this weekend. My car will be the one right behind that big snowbank over there lol.

Warmed up a bit today...

It got up to 15 F, practically summer, so I got the camera out. Here's three pics of the new to me CLS550. You can see why I made sure it's a 4Matic.

Thanks. I really like it. I don't think I've seen a M-B this color before, although I realize they're out there. Around southern MN, it seems most order black, white, or one of the classic silver/grey colors, all of which I like. I'm glad this one popped up, though.

What color is yours?

Only 3 years. I like the look of the W219s, and silver looks great on a Mercedes.

Great pickup. That red really pops, especially against the white snowy background. 4matic was a definite must for sure

Let us know if we can help you out with any aftermarket lighting upgrades. We have plug and play LEDs/HIDs that will change some of the dingy yellowish bulbs out for more modern whiter and brighter lighting
