Finally had the opportunity to upgrade from the '88 Cutlass i used to drag around. Decided i should take some pictures of it, since it was so nice today. I'm pretty pumped about it, and the best part is it's a manual. Pretty big jump (in all categories), considering the vehicles I've driven in the past; but I'd say I'm adapting pretty well. Tried to be as artistic as possible in my picture taking; let me know what you guys think :)

Yes, I'm planning on getting new wheels. (next summer)
I'd also like to tint the windows, nothing crazy just minor apparel mods :)



Other than that it's staying stock.

Gorgeous colour. It'll really pop with a polish and a wax.

How hard are those to find in manual?
I think my buddy would probably be interested in one of those

Depends on your luck. Previous ones i've looked at were all auto; I found this one by "mistake".

Nice color!! Black wheels with polished lip would look SICK with the blue.

Time to get OEM bi-xenons or aftermarket projectors ...the foggy factory halogen headlights are so bland now :)

Nice car and props on the 6-speed. I don't think i've ever seen a newer benz with a standard. Great colour too, makes it stick out from all the silver :thumbsup:
