CLK
I too recently bought a used 2004 CLK55 and I've been daily driving mine 60mi/day in highway traffic and I've got to say it is a GREAT daily driver. If I drive like a sane person I get 22-23 mpg.

I've already had a few mods performed on my car and plan for more... and the nice thing you can still comfortably dd this car even w/mods.

Post up some pics!
