New C300 owner checking in

Hi All,

First post. Very new to the Mercedes scene, but not new to cars. I just picked up a 2018 CPO C300 with AMG night package and saying hi! I traded in my 2007 Acura TL Type S manual and really enjoy being part of the Mercedes family, but do miss the stick shift a little! I just picked up this car about a week ago, but will probably be doing some sort of simple mods to wake it up in the near future. (I have been reading up about the Dinan and JB4 chips and some other things).

A little about me-- I am 33, work as a chemist for a pharma/diagnostics company (COVID R&D has taken over my life the past year) and live in Central Jersey (Hunterdon County)

I also have a 1978 Trans Am that I have restored myself, and an older truck for work around the house, so I am no stranger to working on and messing with cars, and I am hoping my new Mercedes will be just as fun as my Acura was and Trans Am is!
