2001 CLK430 Cab.
Friend's SL55

Went with a friend to look at the 2004 SL500 at the dealer I recommended. While there he saw the SL55 and after I helped him with some details (he's not a car guy) he decided and bought the black SL55; He's picking it up today. It is a very nice car. Just wish I had his money. I'm jealous of the car but still love my 2001 CLK430 CAb.

CLK, X5
Seriously, clk's have an undeniable appeal, and to the other 99% of America whose thinking "Hey, there goes a Mercedes convertible" I dont think it matters much which you have, cause with the price difference between the two cars, you could make your car just as fast as the 55 for far less $$, which is why I admire many of the clks on this forum

while i agree with this statement very much, sometimes, its not just about how fast the car is... its a matter of a total package...

i mean, if you want, a WRX STi & new EVO is both pretty fast... but thats all it is...

Mercedes ///AMG cars combine fast with looks, and a class of its own... the best of both worlds... but, of course, at a cost
