39! My son (who will soon be turning 15) keeps asking me to give him my CLK430 when he gets his license. Please... in his dreams!

LOL
If I have kids they will not get a V8 for their first car. I'll find some nice C220 for them.

JC.CLK · 01-25-2008, 02:26 PM

27 here.

USCGTO · 01-29-2008, 02:41 PM

the clk came in last month.

I think its more about how u respect the car. Been a muscle fan for long time. The GTO taught me the hard way.

dealmeir · 01-29-2008, 08:01 PM

41 years young... love my 05 CLK500 cab. This is my first Benz but not my last.

trikoid · 02-02-2008, 02:43 PM

I'm 34. Bought it used for $38K a year ago.

Of course, I pay for it myself. I guess you either have to be born rich or get a good job, right?

So this winter, I have dedicated snows and rims on my CLK. I was eyeing the CLK63s, but of course it can't take 17" wheels so winter use would be limited.

My wife put her foot down: "No, John! You are not going to have a summer convertible AND a winter convertible!" Better start making some mucho bucks now...

paulybagadonuts · 02-02-2008, 02:58 PM

My Brother ownes a '07 CLK but he's not a member so, I'll chime in for him.

He's 57... Wow that sounds old... a young 57

RedRocket · 02-07-2008, 08:04 AM

I bought my 2005 clk 55 amg for my 46th Bday. I am jealous of the youngsters that could afford such premium vehicles at young (inexperienced) age. TRUST FUND?
Seriously though, I LOOOOOVE this car!

haha no, more of work and school full-time for 4 yrs, and finance a nice car to reward yourself.

FEGELEIN · 02-07-2008, 12:34 PM

I'm 37. Question is for these early 20's tykes, some say that they are paying for it themselves, BUT, are they living in Mommy & Daddy's home for free? If so, you're really not paying for it yourself, until you are a man with your own house bills and then let's see if you can buy the Benz!

By that time I'll be rockin' a Ferrari Scuderia for racing and a Gallardo Spyder for top-down cruising

Live in the house; YES.
Have White Collar Job with 2 degrees ; YES.
Pay Rent and own Bills; YES
Afford Insurance and Finance Payments; YES.

Poor after payments?....YES.
Have g/f who understands that you love your car more than her? .... YES.

EDIT: Im actually trying to sell my Coupe and purchase a Ferrari...theres one in our city forsale. '95 355 spyder with 12,000 Km going for 85ish.

christopherj · 02-07-2008, 03:43 PM

I'm 37 and drove regular cars until I had plenty of cash. Car payments or leases are a rip.

BTW, while I may have plenty of $ to buy whatever car I want, I have never seen a 37yr old dude in a ferrari that didn't look like a douchebag. Maybe doable in SOCAL or NYC, but round here I'd be emabarrased.

I'll take a '67 stingray convertible w/427 for about the same money

christopherj · 02-07-2008, 03:47 PM

And BTW who cares where the money comes from? You got good fortune to have rich parents who give you a Benz then great.

That's pretty sweet...a complete classic!

Though still, I'd take a C6 with a 427

christopherj · 02-07-2008, 04:03 PM

725 Horsepower huh? I might kill myself

You must love the smell of napalm in the morning

FEGELEIN · 02-07-2008, 10:27 PM

I figured I would generate a little action w/ that statement! LOL
I was a spoiled ******* as a kid also. Parents were rich and at just turning 17, I had a brand new 87' GT. Then they bought me a new 89' Legend, I decked to the nines (wheels, system, kit, etc, etc.), cruised central and tagged *** all night long!!!

I lived at home for free, parents paid the note & I paid the insurance!

Since then I became a man and took over the family contracting business and have doubled the volume of my fathers best years. I even just landed the Yankee Stadium sitework project!

So all you spoiled kids, make sure you don't ride your parents too long and lack ambition, because you can get caught with your pants down when you are on your own. I have seen it many times before. That concludes my leson for today! lol
For my 40th, I plan to roll down to Barrett Jackson and by a 65 / 66 Shelby GT350 or 67/68 GT500.

Couldn't agree more. I never had s**t as a kid growing up, but I'm not gonna spoil my kids TOO bad. An '89 legend was the first car I ever bought myself. God I loved that car - 190,000 miles worth and still going strong when I sold it.

I was 24 when I got my 2002 W208 bought by the parents as a bribe to go to law school. I felt i was too young for the car but hey, it was free didnt pay for anything. left home in 2005 of course left the car (still sitting in the garage until today), bought a new evo viii and now i felt too old for the car.

today im 30 and have a clk500 which i think i am still too young for it but ive never considered switching to a bmw. wife is nagging me to get her one though but i love our prius.
