Welcome, and nothing poor about those pics!! Congrats on your ride. What made you decide on the W208 class? As a owner of a w208, for me it was the body and those headlights! Lol

I was really torn between a w201 and this, but I could not find a w201 with a spec I like. This just looks stunning no matter how you look at it, and is really just a joy to drive - just the perfect amount of power.

Most definitely.. When I touch to gas, she still pushes me back in that drivers seat! Awesome thank you.

Welcome to the forum. Welcome to the world, the MBWorld!
2 questions.
Are the pix representative of the type of driving you do(it looks flat and straight)
Are you close enough to salt water to worry about salt air corrosion?

Hello and thank you for the welcome!
Yes, the car is pretty flat, it's sitting on Sportline Eibach springs but that is actually all there is to it, the rest of it is bone stock.
Fat tyres on the 16" rims make the drive more than comfortable.
The car is usually a weekend car as I don't have a real need for a car, and for that purpose it being flat but still comfortable is a really good combination in my opinion.
I am living on the coast, but the strongest winds are coming to the sea rather than from it. And where I am from, it almost never snows so I don't have to worry about salt on the roads.
