Photos of the new "C"
I took these photos today just west of Las Vegas in an area called Red Rock.
The road that goes thru Red Rock is 13 miles long, one way, and has lots of twists and turns. Speed limit....35
What a great vehicle....power, handling and great looks !
Enjoy !!!!

It's a long one....
1.) iPod Integration Kit.
2.) P2: Dynamic Rear View Monitor and Night View Assist...so I can drive at
night with the headlights off
That's it.

My biggest issue w/mtn twisties....and part of why I hate driving anything less well-engineered than a new CL in twisties (or anywhere) is the signif risk of frontal collision vs an oncoming car being driven sloppily across lanes....in my expce, vast majority of the sloppily-driven cars are not new AMG/F/P, but rather low-value and/or older Volvos/various SUVs/Audis/Prius, etc....Darwinian selection I suppose....

When I saw the subject line of this thread, I wondered, "what's the big deal about a piddly C class and.... why is someone posting that on an S-Class forum
".....
That CL is incredible!
Nice, very nice.

Yes, I might have to "move" over the the CL forum but it's not very active, certainly not as active as here. So I'd rather stay here...ya never know maybe I'll trade over to an S65, once MBZ "adjusts" the power progression so as not to break the rear tires loose so easily
JUST KIDDING!!
Actually, I too am surprised by the activity here..... considering most S-class guys are self absorbed egomaniacle types who have too many things to do besides idling on car forums
Not kidding about the latter.

Surprising.....considering most CL's are driven by single guys looking for attention and have nothing better to do with their time......

And we love it, every minute of it.
Better be that, than:
not - self absorbed
not - egomaniacle types
not - have too many things to do
not - dling on car forums
BTW
Do you have a mirror at home?...
It's a joke, I know you do.
But do you use it?
I'm being polite here,
I'm not suggesting for you to go, hug a tree and sell that ugly gas hungry NEW benz...
or maybe I do ?
