2002 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG
Random post

I just want to say - I really enjoy my 2002 CL55 - no, it's not the blown version but it has plenty of power for me, any extra HP and I'd get in more trouble I'm sure. And it gets a consistent 25 mpg. I think that's great for all the fun I have driving it. I believe the 2003-2006 kompressor cars get below 20mpg, is that right? Anyway I'm a horse guy and I'll find myself driving along, patting my car on the side of the speedometer hump like my horses's neck and saying "Good boy." CL55 ftw.

2006 CL55 AMG
Thx

Thx for sharing your fondness for your well kept and sharp 2002 MB CL55. It's only been a month since acquiring my 115k mile 2006 CL55 AMG. Still learning what and how all these buttons are/do as well as appreciate the performance. The other day while with my 7 y.o. daughter at Burger King, a middle aged couple also was dining there while their 4 door 2010? twin turbo V8 Audi S4 or something waited for them. They seemed to be looking around the restaurant as if looking for someone. Well, this puzzle was answered as my daughter and I walked out to the MB. Apparently they were admiring the black, beautiful, and muscular 500 hp/520 lb/ft trq. CL55 AMG. Was a pretty cool feeling.
