My "new" car

This is the car that I bought to replace my 5 years old Jetta wagon with 140,000 miles.  this is a way better ride and so far the car is quite reliable.  And actually, the C 230K drives better then the other car my family also own, a 2006 C 280 4-Matic.  The coupe has more a direct feeling on the steering, and it's heavier too.  The coupe also has a more stiffer suspension.  BTW, this car is actually a 1.8, not a 2.3, it got the newer M 271 engine (all 1.8), rather then the older M 270 2.3 version.  so my car, a 2004, is actually called C 230 Kompressor 1.8

Cool!  Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That's a very good choice!

I think it can be a good drift car just like AE86 IF the parking brake is relocated next to the shifter... just my opinion.

你個888 plate 係你抽到定係比錢??

Well, the sales person from Phills Smart Mercedes in Seattle helped me get it from the pool, cause he said he gets that request from most of his Asian customers.  BTW, the other merc our family own, the C 280 4 matic, also have 888 plate, and the bluetec, we have a "truck" place (since it's a business car) B86668M.

早前我在美國的表兄送給我這張Washington State比較有趣之車牌，
作為美、加、日車牌收集者的我，實在太美妙了。

ehhhh... 他日如果你香港出車，用customization scheme自訂999 TVB，你就可以將你果個華盛頓車牌擺車頭！都會幾型喎！（不過同時要mount番前白後黃正式車牌先得，否則會幾麻煩的。）

re art0925: can you show us the Bluetec too?

haha, I've seen even funnier plates, my friend's truck have a plate that's 444-SEX...
btw, you cannot do custom plate with 3 letters and 3 numbers in WA ga, they won't allow it, those are reserved for normal distributation.  Also, you cannot reused plates here, unless it's custom plate.
