Hi everyone,

I am a new member. My first car was a 1998 E300 TD when I was 16, and I have had a diesel Mercedes ever since.

My latest car is a 2002 CL500 with ~80-90k miles. I am joining this group to hopefully see how I can splurge (or in other words waste) money on this 2002. Driving this car makes me feel absolutely amazing. I am not sure if a 2025-2026 coupe Mercedes would give me the same feel! Anyway, first time poster, first time feeling comfortable doing so, and I thought I would say "Hi!".

BR,
