Wink new to forum

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum here, but have been reading 6speed for quite awhile. I remember seeing Shank's old SL600 on custom BBS LMs, and used to drool over the damn thing. Busted *** and finally got myself a S500.

I'm local to the DC area... I think I've seen blackbenz's car twice, once on the highway, as well as at HiN in Dulles. I'll try to get a picture up of my car soon, but proud to finally be posting as opposed to lurking for so long haha!

Have a great day guys!

Suj

I think I saw both

blackbenzz, I think I've seen both of your cars:

- Once when I was going down 495 towards Tysons, you were in your silver CLK (the one in your sig I think).

- Other time was at HiN and I didn't even know it. Didn't put two and two together until I saw your car I think on MBWorld, and you had the Kleemann CLK55 with the gold rims.

thanks

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Dunno bout the chrome wheels... not really too big of a fan of chrome on an S. I saw the worst rims on a S500 the other day in Georgetown, almost made me puke. The typical $2K 20" chrome wheel package with crappy low profile tires that start to disintegrate at 10 mph... not really my style. I'd love to get a set of Kleemann TS-6, but after reading how poorly they handle bumpy roads, I've been turned away. As those local to VA, DC, and MD know our roads suck!
