New car pictures (HDR for some)

Really excited on the new car. Picked it up on Wednesday and all I got to say is wow, this car is a completely different animal. Torque heaven, too many features to list. Old people hate me now.

I'm putting some pics through HDR conversion, so it will take a while. While I wait for that, I'll put a preview in HDR.

Hopefully one day I will be either hit the lotto or be rich enough to afford this, until then I am happy with the mini Brabus or mini C63 AMG for that matter.

Brabus Bullit
V12 6.2L Twin-turbo
720hp@5,100rpm
974lb-ft@2,100rpm
500,000 dollars

I never thought the day would come when I would see a snowplow front end on a Mercedes-Benz.

Those new (C class?) cars have me rethinking my pledge to not drive a M-B until I'm 60. The styling has been revamped for those under 100 years old finally.

Cool, you got a C-Class.

I just saw a black one the other day here in Seattle. Very Classy ride!

C350 Sport

What surprises me the most is that how little-to-no bodyroll this car has driving mildly through twisties. I haven't even broken it in yet so I have yet to punch them through turns but this is promising.

The black is nice but you know me, I can't maintain a car as well as you can.

Seattle's treating you well?

I never liked MB, but the new models especially the C-class has me really thinking. I'm starting to reconsider. Congrats on your new car, enjoy.

One thing I gotta ask is, before you sold your WRX, did you install that downpipe?
hehe.

Seattle is ok, it has its pros and cons. Still getting used to it here.
