Wanted to say Hi to everyone. I'm here to read up and learn. In the mean time, here are a few pics of my current ride ('03 Mercedes E500) and the toy car I just sold ('09 Brabus smart)

tbone28 · 05-27-2012, 05:09 PM

I went back and forth debating on an E92 or next gen, and ended up deciding on an E92. My order's in the order bank. Just waiting for a production number now. Can't wait

Thank you, I'll try to find some more pics

Mr. ///M3 RD · 05-27-2012, 06:44 PM

Congratulations. Nice choice on the e92 and the exterior colour. I had one for a short spell traded her for a M-DCT (picture of it in my retired garage).

Your Mercedes 500 looks nice too.

cmk227 · 05-27-2012, 07:42 PM

Nice.

ES_TRADER · 05-27-2012, 11:33 PM

I like the toy car better. Looks so cute and sick at the same time. Big wheels and all

XR_SIX · 05-28-2012, 12:26 AM

More pics of the smart car please

tbone28 · 05-28-2012, 12:38 AM

Thanks guys. The smart was a fun little car. Handled great on the KW V2's.

that smart car looks fun! i'd rock that.

GOLFFRR · 05-28-2012, 11:42 AM

I really like those HRE's on your benz. I don't think I have ever seen those before. What style were they?

tbone28 · 05-28-2012, 01:09 PM

Thanks for the smart compliments

Those HRE's are 563R. They also come in step lip if you like 563C

dmz · 05-28-2012, 01:24 PM

The Smart looks nice modded. But I'd be scared to be driving that on the freeway next to 18 wheelers.

redline9001 · 05-28-2012, 02:27 PM

HREs on a Smart car... now that is baller... rims are worth more then the car

If you can wait 2+ years for an F82 then do it but if you want/need a car now then E92 it is.

Eric335 · 05-28-2012, 03:26 PM

love the Merc/Smart photos

iDontAlwaysDrink · 05-28-2012, 03:34 PM

Depends on what you're looking for? E92 is V8 NA, F82 will be turbo I6, but will most definitely have more power, yadda yadda.... lol
