Do you snicker at ML500, ML430, ML350/320 on the roads?

2005 CLK55 AMG Cabriolet
Maybe it's me, but I don't think any 17 year old would be able to afford a $70K amg back in 1999? Hahaha, just thinking about it logistically. Hey raviolidinnr, that's pretty sweet how you bought your CLK500 right off the Benz showroom, what was the reason? Couldn't wait to order? I just took delivery of my 2005 CLK55 Cabriolet... waited for a while, geez, it sucked waiting, but I finally got it! I'm just starting out with the features.. takes a while to understand all the tidbits, so many gadgets.

And Cayenne owners look down at you!
I used to own an ML320 and theres nothing wrong with it, the amount of money I invested in my ML is enough for me to snicker at you sir, speed off if you will, yours is just like every other ML on the road, to the ladies, they're all the same.
It's official kiddies

My ex-cars: 03 E55,04 C32, 05 C55 ,03 E320
Totally agree with you.
Sometimes I wonder why I spend money on my car while the females cant spot the difference.
I once walked my friend from the classroom to the Babson carpark..and there was a c240 next to my c55 amg....both were black..
and i asked...can u tell the difference? and she said no....NO!!!
OMG!! I wanted to kick her...but of coz i didnt =P
Probably the female that I know that knows how to tell the differences between regular and AMGs is my mother (which means trouble). She know AMg is fast....and dont recommend young ppl to drive it..(or anyone...she still doenst know i have a C55)...my brother got in trouble for adding a body kit to his C320 and changing the exhaust...my mom could tell immidiately...

after I taught my mom to spot the difference she knows now, she does get fooled by the occasional sport or special edition...
And if you do find a female who can tell the difference... put a ring on her finger because you have an obvious winner with her!!!

For instance, my fiancee can spot an AMG from a mile away (hyperbole at use, heehee) and probably knows as much as the next Benz owner, no, she doesn't religiously read and study every "haawwtt" car out there, but she loves the very expensive, fast, and powerful ones. Maybe because she was brought up a bit spoiled, but she has an eye for these types of cars. Also, I don't buy cars for the ladies, I've been with my girl for over 7 years, and I've gotten engaged to her, she's quite a special and exquisite (to the eyes) lady, and I'm just willing to make her happy because we have something very special between us. I don't go around looking to buy expensive cars just to get with hot girls... I don't need to do that. :p
So anyway, why are you comparing Porsche Cayennes?? You'd better be talking about the Cayenne TURBO which is 0-60 in 5.4 sec, buddy, not just the Cayenne (or the Cayenne S).... HAHA because the Cayenne S is still a slow sucker at 6.8 sec. The regular Cayenne is a wimpy 8.5 sec.... SO LETS HOPE TO GOD THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO A TUURRRBBBO
Btw, I see that you're a Cayenne S owner.. well, unless you own a Cayenne Turbo and wanna race me, then I'll bow down to you, and marvel at your Turbo... but, my 00 ML55 will whip your 04-05? Cayenne S's **** anytime... so back off until you at least know what the heck you're saying... haha
