CLK 55
Talking I Did It
I bought the CLK 55 (2001) this past Friday.

I took eveyones advice and bought the CLK55. I bought it in Tarpon Springs FL (near Tampa) and drove it back over 1500 miles back to the Northeast. What a way to get acqauinted with your new ride!


My brief review of this wondeful machine......

OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What else can I say? Words cannot explain the rush you get driving this machine. It is like riding your favorite roller coaster over ann over again.

Laaaaaawd have mercy!!!!!!!

AMG BABY!!!!!

Congratulations !!!! I am sure it's a great ride. I have a 430 that I love and can only imagine what it must feel like to be behind the wheel of a clk 55.

Enjoy it and make sure to post some pics of your new ride.
