STILL GET COMPLIMENTS DAILY
Not sure about you guys but i daily drive this thing since FEB/MARCH of 2010 . I sh*t you not no matter where I go , I get compliments on it daily hell even more then once in a day .. Honestly its a good feeling figuring the body style is over 15 yrs old even though the car isnt . Not sure if the black wheels wit polish lip and smoked out windows plays some part but I'm sure it helps .
Is it just me or is this the case with you guys also![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

I just got a compliment the other day from a teenager when I was gassing up the beast...I was surprised.

"I get ask all the time "what year is your car"
they get blown away when I tell them it's a 02."
I was giving my my most important customer a ride home from a golf scramble in my '01. The second he gets in it starts...
"Wow. This is a really nice car. So clean. What year is this?"
"It's an '01"
No kidding, he looks at me, kinda pissed, like I am actually lying to him. I was actually kinda panicked.
"Tom, it really is an '01. It has 88K on it. I actually bought it at 76K three years ago, don't get to drive it near as much as I want to (have a work truck)."
He chills out, amazed that I am telling the truth. Goes on to tell me to let him know if I am ever thinking about moving it...

My Monoblocks are going back on soon. I've got a vibration around 43-55mph that I (and my mechanic plus his boss) think is tire related. I'm just going to put the stockers back on and hope it goes away. The only thing that sucks is the stock wheels have some cheap tires on them that are very noisy. Come tax return time I'll probably get the Brabus wheels straightened, curb rash removed and powder coated w/ a polished lip (was quoted $175 per wheel at a local place).

The monoblocks are a great looking rim but they are SOOOOOOO heavy. I have 19" rims on my C43 that are lighter than the stock 17" monoblocks.
