So because of the chrome around the window and door handle you think all 320's are lame?

2001 CLK 320
Odd

Appears to be a German CLK that's been lowered on either 18's or possibly 19's.

Notice the lack of side turn signal, european style taillights (no back up light), painted reflector and the stance of the car.

I also find the lack of MB signage quite odd. Could be an old pic of a factory test vehicle I suppose. They do some odd stuff to those to mess with spy photogs. In any case, MB's, even coupes, in Germany are not that rare. Not surprising at all to find a less than perfectly kept one.

Regards,

First off, the car is not that bad, you guys are way too hard on it.
I think the wheels are ugly, the tint is horrible, and the quad exhaust is gay.

I think its funny that you guys are making fun of the "phony" quad exhaust, but you all drool over the evosport quads.......I know that the evosport stuff looks much cleaner, but it is still not real dual mufflers.

and to whoever said 320's are lame - you are gay!

yeah, tell that to thousands of other people who own clk320. so what you can afford a CLK55. you sure don't sound like you have the class for a 55.

what you said about the crome trim, and door handle is not necessary true. You should study more about CLK. the 99 CLK430 has the crome trim. In Europe where the AMG sport pkg is not standard like the U.S. market, all the CLK430 has crome trims. Now, are they LAME? guess they are since you own a clk55.

ok ok, i apologizes for saying "so what you can afford a CLK55. you sure don't sound like you have the class for a 55. "


But, wow, do you even know the difference between quarter system, and semester system? we don't have final around halloween.

OH MY BAD, thanks for giving me advice on your personal FLUNKING out experience. I will remember that.

btw, did you thought that was a lecture i'm giving you?? WOW, i must have influence. or I'm someone famous. Rationality does give out once you start to age. I better watch out for that, so i won't turn into you.

Oh well, NICE talking to you karl k.

Cheers
