Hey--
I've been reading this site for about a month or two as I have been shopping for a new ride. I have been looking into hi-performance 4 drs sedans for quite a while and am happy to say that I am picking up a 2002 C32 AMG w/ 22k mi, blk w/ blk lthr, nav....fully loaded. This will be my first MB.

I am soooo pumped; I am sure you fellas know that feeling the night before you get a new ride. I wont be able to sleep tonight. I test drove the car last weekend and loved all 5 miles of my drive. I stomped on it once or twice but never really got on it too hard, but I could feel the potential!

Anyway, I am sure this will be my first of many posts on this board being that I am a do-it-yourselfer and that engine bay looks like a jigsaw puzzle. I looked at it for an hour before I figured out that it doesn't have a dip stick (am I right or just crazy). First accessory I am purchasing will be a shop manual, if they even exist that is. It seems like MB doesn't want there owners touching these cars, why else would you make a car w/o a dip stick.

Look forward to chatting in the future.
