My trusty W211 E280 Avantgarde

[MotorWerkz]

It's been 11 years of ownership, however the mileage isn't that high, running at 25k miles on the clock. I did some modification, AMG e63 bodykit, 20" AMG blade, and trunk spoiler.



What do you guys think?

That car has the iconic Mercedes look. It's nice to see people mod a car with an OEM+ type of methodology. Are you keeping it as a weekend car or collectable?

Great car! Maybe I'm getting old and bitter but Merc and BMW don't make cars that look that nice anymore.
