Looking forward to learning more about this car from you guys.

Just stomp it....she'll take ya to school....HA hahhhh

Great pics of a cherry looking car. Welcome!

If you have any questions...post away and don't be afraid to use that search tool. Just about every subject on the W211 has been discussed, but the guys are pretty cool if you repeat.

Got any mods planned for it? Rims/Engine etc...

Keep us posted.

Congratulations from another fairly "newbie". Love the silver, just like mine. I'm having the most fun right now learning to launch the beast. I have already set up runs with aquaintances and friends with a Cobra, 911, Viper, and heavily modded Trans AM. Told them all that I wouldn't be ready for a month or so 'till I could launch right! Have fun and be sure to post mods as you get them.

Thanks guys for the responses. No mods planned yet. We bought the car vs leasing. We'll keep this one a while. My wife traded in her 1996 Corvette Collector Edition LT1 (with 37k miles on it) for this car that has only 13k miles on it.

I drive a 2002 Z06 Corvette, slightly modded.

Jay, I don't mind the antenna. Hardly notice it's there.

Derek, what is the "euro headunit"?

If you don't mind my asking, I'd like to know how much you paid for it. I also have an '04 and am curious to see what kind of price it might command. A lot of people are complaining that the market is drying up for these cars and the prices are dropping.

These on ebay are in the ballpark. Look at the "buy it now" feature. I paid more than the last one and less than all the others. Of course the last one has 20k more miles on it than mine.
