Shout out to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for putting me on. I took my car out of the Bronx towards the 7 lakes here in NY. Got some much needed spirited driving in with my boys, went hiking and saw this great view.

During my pedal mashing I saw a BMW i3 going in the opposite direction, on my way home I caught up to this Audi that I saw earlier having as much fun as I was.

I was leaving a gas station, looked in my rear view and saw this bad boy (dat v8 sound)

And got to take some nice pics of my car.

10/10 would do again.

Thanks! I'm surprised how good they came out, I only had about 30 seconds to take each picture because I was stopped in the middle of the road.

It's BOTH! Kidding, automagic only. *stashes Jalop card in safe*

Also thanks, I believe it has aged well even though I really like the new design.

Lmao! They'll have to take my Oppo card out of my cold, dead, 10 and 2 no manual using hands.

haha yeah. The auto in mine is pretty good, and from what I hear the C class had a good auto too.

I'm not a huge fan of the new C class, just doesn't do it for me at all.

It's pretty good to me I just wish it was quicker to respond when I use the Manual mode.

New C Class looks much better in person to me than in pictures. Still a little rough in some areas I've heard so I expect the new model year to tidy it up.

Yeah I had that same problem, I went with an Alpina flash and it fixed the issue. You should see if there is a flash available to quicken the transmission. Definitely made a big difference.

I spent some time at the benz dealer, not a huge fan.

Nice! Glad to help.

BMWs are infinitely more tunable than non turbo Mercedes cars. I've searched and there is a $800 tune that at best seems to give you like 15+HP/10 ft. lbs and no one has mentioned any transmission adjustments, so I'm rinsed.

I've went to my first Benz dealer outside of getting the car just a couple of weeks ago and thought it was top notch service and space. Probably is a YMMV kind of thing.
