It told me to check in so here I am

Just picked up a 2012 C300 4matic in Alpine White over the weekend. While my first MB, not my first German and not my first forum. Plan to look around the site some more and looking forward to learning as much as I can. Im ASE certified and do most of my work so Im hoping to pick up some tips and tricks there as well and hopefully be able to help out some others down the road

On another forum Im on for my truck, theres a basic list of mods most first owners do. In my short browsing here I havent seen such a list but have noticed two glaring things off the bat that need done; orange reflectors and those damn lock pins. Ill take links to either so I can get that taken care of too. Tint at the end of the month.
