OT: don't flame me please :) (archive)

Okay so I got curious about the new MB C-Coupe. I went over to two different dealers to look at the car in person myself. I didn't bother test driving because I knew I would not be impressed with the power/handling, since I was in the M Coupe.

I have to admit that the rear end looks much better in person than in pictures. The 6-speed felt pretty good, well at least when I was rowing through the gears while it was parked.

However, I knew that was not what I really wanted in a commute car. Maybe I've been spoiled all these months with the M Coupe. I need more power!!!!! Then while I was looking through the brochure I saw it. The C32. I remember reading about the car a while ago and kind of put it out of my mind but now I'm seriously considering buying this over the Mini Cooper S. I was quoted $51K by the dealer, ummm yeah not the way I want it buddy :)

Well enough of this MB talk. :)

Now for M coupe content:

The service light (inspection 1) finally came on at 18300+ miles. I went for a quick StarBucks run while the girl friend was painting and the orange light finally came on.

So when did everyone elses first inspection light come on? For the record, I didn't do any track or autocross event, except one trip to Sears Point for 1/4mi.
