sick equipment, I preferred the wheels that came on it, but if autozone special chrome wheels are your thing, thats cool.

[scottx]

I had them and the old tires were trash. i had no choice.

they wont be on it forever.

those wheel's cost 2x what amg's cost but i'd rather have the amg's. how ironic.

i agree. you have the stance right and the correct wheel size, just the style is all wrong...
and nice and clean, with lots of sound.
nice car

interesting trunk, how do you get to the spare w/o having to remove everything? looks like you lost a lot of space in there

There is no spare. I don't even have a spare to the car.

There's no room for one even if I did have one. When I do get one for it I'll just leave it at home and if I have a flat, I'll call my wife and she can bring it to me wherever I'm stuck at. Just hope I'm not a hundred mile's away when I do need it. *knocks on wood*

i tired to do that...and i needed it when i was over 8 hours away...had to go to a junkyard get a rim, then a used tire place it wasn't pretty

now i NEVER travel w/o a spare, plug kit, full set of tools, car computer and a hydraulic jack, (no more widow makers for me)

[scottx]

I travel with a jack & a small set of will-need-if-i-break-down tool's. Couple screwdriver's, a pair of channel-locks, 10-15mm wrenches, some of those good blue towel's, jumper cable's and fuses. All in a nice leather tool bag on the floor behind the driver's seat since I refuse to haul anyone in the back seat of my car or put anything in the trunk.

Oh, and you can't forget the 1/2" Snap-on breaker bar with a 3" extension and the correct size socket for the lug's

Anyone ever seen someone mod a dash out the way mine's done? Lower half cut off and replaced with sick speaker grille's with 4" mid's in mdf boxes behind it? How about fiberglass door panel's with 6 1/2 mid's? Wait, That's 4 speaker's! What about the top? Oh those are just 1.5" Tweeter's. Are they all matched? Yep, matched 6 piece set with crossover's. Damn car even has a usb hub. Ever seen that?

Didn't think so.

word for word, exactly what i keep in my car. plus a spare, some good 'fix-a-flat' stuff, and a cool little compressor that runs via a cigarette lighter outlet.

[scottx]

I have a little air compressor like that, that's a good idea.

I took this kick ass picture today.

201024- 201.024 chassis designation-- 190E 2.3

The list of numbers in the bottom right (groups of 3) are the option codes that came on the car.

[scottx]

Ahh. Yes. I matched some of the number's up with this page and the option's match the car.
