Goodbye BMW, Hello Mercedes! My new DD...

My lease on my 325ci (yes it was a cab!) ended this weekend and I turned it into the dealer. I felt bad for my garage and didn't want it to feel empty so I made a stop at the Mercedes dealership on the way home and picked up a new DD. It's not a C63 AMG, but it'll get the job done.

It's a Basalt Black C350 with Black/Grey interior. I have to say it handles a lot better than the BMW and definitely more torque. I'm getting the windows tinted tomorrow but here are some pics. I'm still on the hunt for a G this fall!

Congrats on the pick-up... it will be interesting to see how you like it over time and if you miss having a vert.

Wow ATL, I know Jox refers to you as babyface and all, but didn't realize there was any truth in it until I saw you in the first pic.

Do you moisturize?

Thanks guys! This is my first Merc, I've always been a BMW guy and it's kind of a nice change (so far).

If I still lived in LA at least 1 car would have to be a convertible, in Atlanta, not so much.

Have you seen the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button?" That's based on me, right now I look like I'm about 2 years old.
