OK, those of you who remember me, here I am LOL.
Ok really though, my C5 was totalled by a drunk driver last october and I wanted to update y'all on my current car. I bought a Mercedes-Benz CLK 430 with the AMG package, very nice. It compares nothing to the vette performance wise, but it is still enjoyable for me

Here are some pics of the Vette ( for you who don't remember)








And here are some pics of the new ride (much smaller pics taken by my phone)..........It has 19'' floating rims

19" floating rims? Is that one of those German amphibious assault vehicles?

Sorry about your 'vette. (it's still better looking wrecked in the first photo than the Rustang sitting next to it )

That Mercedes is sweet!

Sorry, but a **** Footlocker will never compare to a C5. IMHO

Only kiddin, it's a good looking car. Now move to the MB forum.

Glad you were not hurt by the drunk.
