2000 CLK430 Coupe
Angry In Mourning

Today I had to say good-bye to my 2000 CLK430 Coupe. It was the best car I ever had. Wife made me get rid of it so she can get a new X5 and make room for our upcoming E320. What a sacrifice, she better give some tonight.

I'm going to miss that V8.

Lol I wasn't kidding! I didn't know you had to trade in your CLK to get some punani. I guess that's when you're married.

Yes, thats what marriage is about. We had a R129 SL500, a ML500 and a CLK55.

She drove the ML, I used the others.

She made me sell the CLK55 and buy a VW Golf. Didnt like having so many mercedes (I told her you could never have enough mercedes).

At least I got away with a V6 2.8 4WD VW Golf - then I sneekilly changed the SL500 for a SL55 :-)
