More fun with the neighbors

It was there again today, so I grabbed the Panasonic FZ20 with 10X optical zoom this time. I dont have enough ballz to walk up to it and shoot the interior ... yet. This is in Woodland Hills, Calif - suburb of LA.
(Note that I make the trip in the Wife's brand new C230k for cover ......."hey! where ya goin with the camera...?!!")

Large pics, low resoloution to load faster - make shure you click in the image pop up for full size:

Mercedes all the way!
nice, very very nice.... i like the gently curving line (from jz below the body until the gentle curve across the rear-most window). the back looks a little fat by i guess that's the price to pay for some extra space!

Great shots Frank...car looks better every time I see another picture of it. Wonder if he would consider leasing it until mine comes in September?

I'm so jealous. This must be a MB rep for that area. Ya know get it out in front of the folks to start developing a demand for it.

I personally don't like the black from behind. There isn't enough contrast and I think the Silver is too much contrast. Can't wait to see one in person myself...Soon!

I would agree that the black lacks detail, but I sharpened that image and made some adjustments and it looks somewhat better. I will send you the image.

Everytime I go out in the garage and look at my Pewter E, I like the color more and more. I think after all the back and forth, I am going to end up selecting Pewter with the Ash interior. I have been driving that combination for two years now and love it! Why change.

Keep that digital handy...you are close to the factory and you may see some roaming around that area.

Go close and get the interior! I am sure they won't mind, or start up a convo with the person.

For some odd reason I think that posting the pics and then having the MSRP sig will lead to a bunch of noobs thinking this is the price.

Yeah...took a second look and see it is for the PRIUS. I knew it was not the R Class price list. Add about $30,000 and you would come close to a loaded R350..:-)

My error!!! I assumed since he drives a Prius that was the price list for it.
I guess it would have to be for a C class I guess with a base of $29+. I am not familiar with pricing other than the R, E and ML.

Member how I said "I drove my wife's new C230" to camoflouge???
Everyone in the C forum likes to post their options in thier sig, it was easier for me to just scan the window sticker. I prolly need to clear that soon. Oh yeah....the Prius thing is a joke also....

Anyways - the same R is there everyday now, I see it in the driveway every day on the way home.........want any specific pics?

Hey Frank...fill up a compact flash card with them. Have him gives you the keys and open all the doors and shoot from every angle, then post them or email them to me and after a review, I will request retakes from specific angles...:-)

Some interiors with close up would be nice. If there is a rear console..try to get a shot of it.
