Got a hand-me-down!

My Mum moved and gave me the car with the title to sign it over! It's a 99, 74k miles non-HID. But yeah, this car loses the garage-space battle. I only have a 2 and a quarter garage and because the MB will be driven the least it stays outside.

Yes, I did order a car cover.

I got the front windows tinted today; 50%. I'm spoiled to HID lamps now, driving with a halogen system is weird, even my bike has a 6500HID kit! I'll probably change the headlights to a projector HID combo or something. I think more importantly I need to find an audio solution. The CD magazine in the trunk is broken! That's pretty much it for now...

Nice hand-me down lol! I once toyed with the idea of picking up an old school Benz, an E or S 430...Great car, still looks great. Throw some HIDs and maybe new wheels and you're set!

Had a 2000 E55 for a few months. Someone loaned it to me cause I needed a car. It was a very nice ride. I like that body style.

Rims (HRE's are perfect on German cars), slight drop, tints, hid kit, game over. Oh and screw the car cover, your gonna end up with scratches on the paint from putting it on and taking it off.
You should set up a car tent in your parents driveway.

Awesome, I wonder which has more miles this car or that bed?

Update: I removed the front license plate and there are DRILL HOLES IN THE BUMPER! It's such an eye sore. I have the plate off right now cuz it was too hot to put it back on. I ordered one of those snooty MB symbol front plates.

he'll be fine as long as he's not covering a filthy car. It's much much better then leaving the car out exposed.
