I see you have a C43... I thought about one of those for a while. Seeing as though you have both cars - how do they compare to one another?

C43 is a drivers car. I drive it each and every day and love everything about it. I've put 9k miles on it the 11 months I've owned it. In the same timeframe I've probably driven the E a couple hundred miles.

It's fast enough for me, but not as brutal as the E. It feels like a gocart on steriods, whereas the E is more luxurious and nice to have when you're hauling peeps. If I had bought the C before the E, I would of never searched out an E given my situation. Infact I don't even drive the porsche any more, it's just that good.

Also the rear seats fold in C which is a plus, and together with an MB roofrack, it's become a jack of all trades.

Guys, I just fired an email off to the prior owner. He's told me that it was an eBay find a few years ago, and that he has never since seen anything like it...

Wish I could be more help!
