There's really no where else to put this...

I sold my car today. Been considering it for a while since I've not been happy with the way it turned out in the end and I was just tired of spending money on it and nothing changing or something else breaks in the process. I wanted a much newer car. I also decided it just wasn't a good decision to spend more money on the car (like to put an LS1 in it like I had originally planned). I work at a Chevy dealer so I get to see most of the used cars that come in, and we got a 2006 Mercedes C230 with 35k miles on it and I fell in love the car and the more I thought about it, I really wanted to do it. It is just the kind of car I was looking for, more practical, better fuel economy, but still a blast to drive and it has a warranty! I'll be finishing up the paper work in the morning and bringing home my new car! Here's a picture I have of it when I test drove it:

And for the heck of it, here's some of my favorite pictures of my Camaro:

It was my first car and I'll always love it, but now was just the right time to let her go. If I had waited any longer, I'd just be in the same position and then the car would be worth even less money. And no one tell me I'm a trader because I still have my 2002 Trailblazer:

Re: There's really no where else to put this...

Did you sell it or trade it in? Its a little funny because I own a Mercedes too (2001 CLK430 Convertible) and it sits in the garage. I honestly enjoy driving my IROC a heck of a lot more than the CLK. Granted I do have more of a sentimental attachment and the CLK reminds me of my ex wife but thats a whole other story!! I have 18's on it now but here is a pic prior to the new wheels.
