I know how you feel! Congratulations!
Don't you just love this aggressive, sexy front view?

Congratulations and welcome to the board.

Congratulations! Have had mine almost three months now and every now now and then I still look out the window just to stare at the car.

Congratulations!
Yes, I too, love looking down at the car from my garage landing. My wife comments on how many people check out my car as we're driving thru town -- you'll learn to love that too.
Enjoy!

Congrats...I can't wait until mine gets here.

Heh cool forum. I just purchased my 2003 C230 2 weeks ago and am madly in love. Can one marry a car? LOL. Sure beats the Mustang I was driving.

Welcome to the club! We just purchased ours on Saturday and all I want to do is drive it, wash it, drive it, wash it... My poor wife, she's going to feel neglected! Actually, she gets to commute with it, I get to drive it on the weekends (fun time!). The six speed is a BLAST! Thanks, Keyes European (Van Nuys) for actually ordering a six speed with some equipment on it. Ours has the C5 package and the 17" wheel upgrade package. Most dealers seem to think that anyone buying a manual transmission car is only interested in saving money. Can't wait for our first road trip!!

boy do I know what you mean

just got mine too and I can hardly contain myself. Are you able to find anyone who is as enthusiastic though. Most people smile a little and say "oh good for you " ah well I still have a smile on my face after a week

True, but I just figure it's a case of Mercedes Envy. I feel like I have to justify our purchase. I just say, 'It's about the same cost as an Altima or Camry, hmm, Altima, Mercedes, tough decision...' Most people don't realize how affordable a MB can be. 8)
