New SC Guy
-Name: Michael Rafkah
-Where you are from: Greer, S.C.
-What vehicle you drive (pictures would be a + ): Right now I drive a 1998 Eagle Talon TSI AWD that has quite a mod list.
-What got you into this style: I have always loved the luxury car feel ever since I was little. Mainly it has been big body MBs because of my dad. He has owned late 80's 420 SELs, 560 SELs, and a few 70's 240 SEs & etc. etc. Also, I have a lot of VW & E30 friends that have me loving the Euros too.
-Why you are here: My path has always been DSMs (I have owned 5 now) but my love of big body cars and tuning has me wanting to combine the two and build a Euro cruiser I can have fun in. The car I hope to pick up in the next couple of weeks is an early MB 300E.
Well that is pretty much me. Feel free to ask anything else you guys have in mind.
