Smile New member, Hello!

Hi everyone. My name is Chris and I reside in Fountain Valley / Huntington Beach, CA. I am 22 turning 23 on March 6th. I attend CSU Dominguez Hills in Carson, CA. I am currently studying Psych.

Although I do not own a Mercedes Benz myself, my father has a w220. He purchased it over a year ago from his supervisor. Its a 2000 Black Opal S500 with Brabus dual tip exhaust, Brabus interior and Lorinser wheels (hah). It only has 75k miles on it!

I occasionlly drive in it every so often.

My father just uses the car for leisure.

I am involved with import cars and fabrication so I am registered in those general car forums and figured that I should try out the Benzino world to expand my knowldge about its technicalities and such.




_____
Christopher

^^^Getting old...

Hey Chris! Welcome a-board!! You, and your dad, have very good taste in cars!!! This is a good place to figure out what's going on w/ dad's car. And when it has a problem you can look like a genius when you tell him what the problem is and what he should do about it. Or better yet, you go out and fix it for him! But be careful of that because the dealer is almost always the best one to diagnose and fix problems w/ our cars.

I love them B5s.


You also reminded me; look up WIS on the forums. It might come in handy for the technical DIY stuff.

Yea....that's a really poor assumption...


Back on track: Welcome man! Nice Merc. I was always a fan of the looks and aesthetics of the W220. Best of luck for you and your dad with it!
