Congrats on the car man.

Not a fan of the color but otherwise it's one hot car. Make sure to get some spinners.

mattg

very nice. keep pulling for the 22's.

pimpscls

looks pimp man, get some 22's

Scrib

Mixed feelings...

That kind of coin, I would have bought something else.

But, if you like it...

Good luck with it.

Minch00

Thanks Scrib, there were some options, but the over-all size and look of the car were the deciding factor. The other options were an Accord, TSX, and the CR-V.

dets

wha? your options were an accord, a tsx and the cr-v?


you droped 29K on this car and those were your other options?

Minch00

I didn't like the others.......it's my opinion.

GeishaGirl

lookin good minchy!

oonowindoo

300C are pimp... i would buy one ... someday.


I personally would go with white (looks more luxurious) but color selection is based on persnal taste.

Minch00

I would have gone with the white, however it was a creamy off white, and I prefer a BRIGHT white, like on the S2000.

Black CL-S 4-Life

Will be pimp with rims!

It's a nice car, Nice color. That car looks best in that color, white, & the really sparkle blue they have. I would have gotten the C with the Hemi. However it's a first year car so it's against my car buying rules.

Crazy Bimmer

ye whats the deal Minch? I love the car BTW.

dallison

as long as yer parents like it

BC2G

its ur parents car... its a tight ride, but that one looks kind of grandpa-ish... no offense, i'm sure the rims will help it out... too bad ur parents didnt get the hemi too... oh well, nice

phil2

Did minchy get called out?....we will have to wait and see.........

Minch00

Wait, what?

phil2

Folks were implying that the 300 was actually your parents new car and not yours...just what people are saying

Minch00

Well, I've stopped giving a damn what people are saying. I know what's going on, and I'm the only one that needs to


BUT, to clear up any doubts, it is MY car to use whenever I wish.

I saw the 5.7L version in that same color yesterday coming back from the supermarket. That's a great color... really contrasts well with the chrome. Very sharp.

They just added the DaimlerChrysler Affiliate Rewards program to our discounts here at work. 1% below factory invoice on elligible vehicles (MB, Dodge Viper & Sprinter inelligible)... very tempting. I've seriously considered getting a loaded 300C and trading in the CLS, but unfortunately that would extend out car payments for several more years, and I want to have a little time off from the monthly payments and be able to pay down the mortgage a little.

Minch00

Yeah, this color was the only color I really liked, you see silver, black, and white everywhere, and the rest of the colors I couldn't see myself waking up to for five years. It was also the only color with a $150 surcharge to get

If you ever do decide to trade in, see if you can hold off until the SRT-8 version comes out, 6.1L V8 400+ horsepower. I didn't need all that, so I didn't wait.

Minch00

But my family is the type if you need a car just grab a set of keys. No one has a designated car.

jimcol711

hhahahaha, so thats how you justify calling it yours.

i cant beleive anyones family is like that...

"sure son, you take the brand new car I just bought and ill drive your piece of shit today, that sounds great!"

my kids will NEVER drive my car if i have something nice at that stage of my life. driving a car is a privledge, not a right, and its also not the right of some punk high schooler to drive their parents cars that they pay good money for and actually WORK for. you want to call a car your own? get a job and pay for it yourself. it may not be anything fancy, but at least it'll be your own.

gdubb

I like those man, congrats Minch....... just put some blang blang on that thing now

phil2

Well put Dr. Jim

Minch00

Well, none of the cars are pieces of shit, and that's how it is. Sorry if your redneck mentality can't comprehend that.

Crazy Bimmer

So by this logic, the CL isnt even yours either. Its the "famlies"

Minch00

Yep. Anyone can drive my car whenever they want.

If I need to haul stuff, I take the truck, need to look awesome, drive the CL, need to carry a lot of people, take the 300. It's not a hard system to comprehend.

18anatak

damn, why you guys raggin on him that much. if he says its the family's car and his to use whenever he wants, then it is. dont be jealous. i know for a fact that he drives it, because we met up on sat night at the car meet, and he was driving the 300. So get off the mans nuts, haters!

:drive:

owned by teh smilies

Minch00

phil2

If what you say is the case minch you need to get you rents in check and tell em to go for a second mortgage and get an m3 vert, an escalade, an elise and h2....come on man step it up a notch

Minch00

We have to have a reason to buy the car. It has to serve a purpose. That's the whole point.

kumar6

they have many of those here in Detroit and they put big ass rims on them and pimp then seriously.

i mean everyone here either works for chrysler or ford or gm so we see it all many months beofore the rest of the us...

that car is kinda played here already... i see old ladys driving them here...

i hear its a big car with the rappers though, so pimp it well and keep it real....

highschool? whats a kid in highscholl doing driving a 30k ride anyway? i have 3k ride when i was in highschool....

holla,

kumar

Minch00

I'm in college! Don't listen to teh Jim.

Maximized

Then it isnt your car. I can go grab my parents keys whenever I want, no questions asked. I am borrowing there cars though, since they arent mine. Hell I can run over to some of my good friends houses and use there cars whenever I want. By your logic, I own a Maxima, A8L, CTSV, Z06, and Lexus RX330

ch1276

I like it, nice choice...time for some rims now!!!

Justin.CL

My family was the same way when I lived at home. I picked up the keys to whatever I felt like driving that day. Nobody ever really wanted to drive my 97 Mustang GT but me so I called it mine. Plus it was the one I was making payments on.

My choices where not quite as nice as Minch's though.

J.T.'s 3.2CL

The title of this thread is confusing...Who actually paid for it? Also why would you put 22" rims on the "family" car that is community property?
