Most ladies could care less about a car or would know what an AMG is. I know, I've had two AMG's. For that matter most men don't know what it is unless they are true car guys. Ladies might be attracted to the SL's after all convertibles are fun but then you will mess up their hair, lol. The CLK's are also nice. Any car with the Tri-Star on the hood says "Money" - that will attract a certain type of woman. You now need to ask yourself, "Is that the type of chick I am looking for?" A valid question. If you are seeking to attract wild spontaneous party girls, you might be better served to look into a Harley.

P.S. Appologies to the car Gals on here who do know what an AMG is and appreciate why it is special. To those of you, I am attracted to you, your knowledge and your mind. If you can drive too, then we should meet.

Thank you 63 AMG for telling this crew of misguided testoterone soaked lads (me included, lol) all desperately seeking to find the best method of finding love from the opposite sex, for telling the truth. You said it all. It takes more than a car to impress a lady. It might attract a "Chick" but a real lady is looking for more. Amen to you mah deah.

sl, cl, slk and clk hahaha...

well AS a chick.. for 1. i know what amg is lol. and 2. convertables are cool... for chicks. and of course for guys too but imo: when a guy is riding top down and blasting songs TRYING to impress the girls, that turns out to be a turn off. (desperate). i also vote for sl cl & clk. (im not a fan of slk).. and of course a mclaren haha.

and yep irish you're right.. despite it all it takes WAY more than a good looking car to really impress a really lady... unless your a golddigger or groupie.

mikesSL55fla

first if you need a car to attract chicks thats bad.
But if you really do I find my SL 55 gets the looks .
Oh and lets say that nothing gets a woman to drop her top and bottom than the top down and the wind through her hair and ....

if you need a $40k+ car to attract women, then you should probably work on your social skills instead.

Franman

How can you leave out Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts? Possibly the ugliest guy celeb ever married to one of the best looking actresses

VroomVroom

are you talking about this julia roberts?


anyway, the reason ugly celebs are married to beautiful women is because of their social status.
if you were known around the world, you'd probably have a chance of banging a new model (or several models) every night of the week.

Franman

Yeah, now if I can just figure out how to get known around the world w/o having to do something psychotic ... b/c I cant act and surely can't sing

VroomVroom

most rappers can't sing, and it hasn't stop them...

don't give up hope.

Using a car to attract chicks is way over rated.

In Europe and E Europe Porsche and MB convertibles attract hot ones - only because they know you can pay for dinner and have a decent job.

In N America generally only skanks go for cars - my buddy bought a Porsche 997 convertible and said it was a complete failure. Attracted all the kinds of girls he didn't want and was a turn off to the ones he did because they thought he was a player out for one thing.

If you want the skanks SL is the way to go. Best to get some 22in chrome wheels on it !

Franman

I think this Mercedes would attract a lot of chicks!

Benz_Lady

LOL

Wulf

Hmmmm, I have had my 20-year-old wagon for a few months now and women don't seem to notice me or the car that much..

benz rider

who said anything about "keeping" them?
the only thing you keep is the panties

Benz_Lady

i'd say the Benz garbage truck would def turn some heads!

DesertBenz

If all you want to do is attract them, you don't need a Mercedes. All you need to do is buy a bulldog and take it for a walk. They're so damn ugly they're cute, and a lot of women can't resist coming over to see them.

rajagiri10

MB McLaren SLR would be the best one.

My 1970 250CE seems to work well... At least when I'm not sitting in it. Haha.
See, the problem with buying a brand new car as a "chick-magnet" is that most of us can't afford many of the new cars that actually attract women. A current shape SL, or even SLK is usually a very expensive purchase, and if you buy a used one to soften the blow, you might end up besieged with repair costs.
But if you buy an OLDMercedes, (the older the better) then you're bound to get noticed. You see, most women that are attracted to flashy cars won't know the difference between a Mercedes-Benz and a Lexus, so it won't matter which kind of "chick-magnet" car you buy as long as it's expensive.
SO with that being said, please review the following equation.

"Flashy or Noticeable" car = Chick Magnet
New "Noticeable car = EXPENSIVE
Old Cars (30 years and up) ALWAYS stand out.
A neat looking old car will always attract attention, and they're cheap to buy and maintain. WIN WIN.

That being said.... you all need to go out and buy W114/W115 Benzes so that there will be enough people on here for them to start a W114/115 forum. Now you see my true motive, bwa ha ha ha!

W211 BEAST

^^That would definitely get you some *****^^

Actually, Jive, you may be onto something. Young ladies love my 380. e.g. parking in south OC a while ago and blacked out BMW (ugly imho) pulls next to me and a young thirties couple gets out. The girl goes gaga over the SL and the boyfriend is totally annoyed. Old guys rule!

AMGfan

crb49...lovely SL...I'm looking now for a 450sl as my next project car. I have to agree, a classic like a 380sl or 450sl in great condition will always get looks and much respect from me.

Back in '79, my pops had a black 450sl and he had the interior changed to a dark red...I still get a chubby thinking about how sexy that car was...hoping to relive that feeling with this project car.

crb49

Thanks AMGfan. They truly are iconic cars. And black over red would be absolutely stunning. (I'm a little partial) Good luck with the chase.

AMGfan

I could either go with a true project car that will be high miles and be around 5-8K or there are a couple of SL's (one local) that is relatively low miles 79K (1980) for 16K (I'd still need to redo the interior).

Still trying to do my due diligence with regard to what this project will entail (i.e. talking to classic car mechanics and lurking various classic car website forums)...

Oh that white SL was a beauty!! I'm actually pretty thrilled with my 250CE for a number of reasons. I only paid $3,600 (not a typo) for her and I have less than $5,000 spent so far. From what I can tell I might have one of the only european 250CE's in the US. For those of you not familiar with this car, the American version of the 250CE (good luck finding ANY version of a 250CE) had the ugly safety bumpers, different headlights, lots of turn signals, different tailights, headrests, and a different engine entirely. The American version was actually a 2.8L engine that was choked to death with smog controls.
By contrast, my car was originally sold in Italy to a someone who took it straight to Saudi Arabia where it stayed until about 2000. Then someone who worked for the DoD bought it and took it with him to Germany until 2006 when he brought it back to Tucson, Arizona. I bought it from him. The car was running (badly) when I got her, and I've done quite a bit to get her in shape.
Whats still left to do?
-new shocks and springs front and rear
-replace the right rear window track
-find a way to wake the sunroof from its slumber
-repaint her in the original color
-fix the clock
-find a Becker stereo that I don't have to take a loan out to buy
-install said stereo
-fix the PRNDSL indicator on the instrument panel
-fix the kickdown switch
-repaint the trunk
-coax the AC into blowing cold
-have a beer, or nine
