yeah hate plates

pissed tho, i was at 3rd street promenade parking structure last week in santa monica, and i came back to my denali and it had a ticket for no front plate, wtf, i didnt realize those ****s can go in a parking structure and give those out

yup... my dealer told me the downtown metermaids can write $35 tickets for no front plates for cars parked downtown. Luckily, I never go downtown

Good ole' public parking in Santa Monica...

yeah f them, last time i go there,

theres gotta be a away to fight it

Congrats!! Fantastic looking car.

So you spent as much as it would have taken to purchase a CLS63. So why the E63 over the CLS?

BTW, the twin spokes are the way to go.

Thats an odd question. It makes it sound like you think most would take the CLS63 over the E63 if only the CLS was not more expensive than the E.

I think most buyers of the E63 prefer its styling, room, and ability to carry 5 passengers. I doubt the price difference between the 2 cars is a deciding factor.

Exactly. I dont care for the cls

its nice but not as practical for some,

Not meant to be a dig. Just interested in what swayed the op to the E63. I made the price reference because it does play a part in most consumers purchasing decisions.

Bullseye! Moreover, E63's agility is handling is better IMHO; more similar to that of the C's handling. CLS is obviously more GT like.

What, no pano?! What?!...You don't wanna join the no-pano-club?!...Now I'm hurt.

By the way, I hate those front plates. The strange thing is, most of the states I hate are the ones that require front plates. Yeah, take them off and now you have two holes. They might interfere with the airflow if you leave them on. Anyway, I was so thrilled when I picked up my car back then in Alabama and found no hole since that state doesn't mandate it.

Another thing I hate is the dealer logo "embossed" onto the rear end.

BEAUTIFUL!! Palladium is so sexy.

Any plans to tune this?? Renntech has some crazy numbers from the Biturbo.

Thanks, I'm really starting to love it. And no I definitely will not be doing any modifications to the car. I love it the way it is, it's plenty.

Josh

Very nice color!!

Love it.

Congrats! Love the color, and Love the biturbo!!

E63 looks so menacing!

WTF?!?! They got you IN the parking structure? I just got a no plate Ticket as well. Looks like SoCal Counties are pushing for more Parking Tickets.

I ain't drilling holes in my ish or putting one of those hideous things up there to spoil this nice face.

Well said. I feel the CLS has nothing about it that makes it objectively superior to the E-Class in terms of aesthetics, i.e both are penned with the same refinement and passion, just different forms. The E is also a fundamentally superior car, and for some of us vertically sprouted folk, the CLS is tighter than a 70's Fiat up front.

theres gotta be a way to fight these

I just paid mine ($49). I was gonna contest it, but fact is they're correctable, so to contest it all you gotta do is put a plate on and take it to the CHP office and they'll write if off. I used to tape a plate onto my old Mustang, but figured I'll just save from the hassle and pay the stupid fine.

I haven't gotten a ticket in a pretty long time, and I all of a sudden have gotten 2 Parking Tickets in just under 2 or so months!!!!

We all know SoCal is in severe financial condition so I'm sure they are doing everything possible to generate revenue. Like I have said, most of the states that require a front plate are usually not good states to live in. Most of those states have lots of limits on various things in life.
