Can I afford my benz?

This thread is more for the poll, but feel free to share as little or as much as you're comfortable with.

I'll start. Personally, I'm a young twenty-something who recently sold the car my parents got me. I had driven it for 5 yrs until it hit close to 100k miles. After selling the car and adding a few grand, the new c230k is paid for.

Been driving Toyotas before. Still love 'em.
