New Additions

Hi folks.

New addition here to the forum. Retired Air Force, live in Long Beach with my family and have been in the area about 4 years since I left Active Duty. Still adjusting to the LA area as I'm used to mostly smaller areas.

I sold my truck (2021 Ram 2500) last fall and looked for a used car to save some money. Somehow wound up with a 2016 C450 AMG as the new vehicle addition, just under 60k miles in good shape. Still cheaper than the truck by half with a lower overall loan so sure!

I'm not a fan of white/black/gray/silver cars so will likely wrap it at some point. Looking at a metallic blue-gray or olive drab matte green. I've typically done light mods but for now looking to keep this one minimal. Some mud flaps almost certainly, maybe some carbon fiber body bits, aFe dry cold air filters certainly.

I look forward to the discussions.

Edit: I might also pipe in on the GLE 350 threads. My wife bought a 2022 GLE 350 new but I seem to drive it more. >.>
