It's an old thread, but a good thread!

Age 63. First car was a VW Beetle with auto electric clutch.
They only made them for 2 years for some reason.
Consider the SL as my personal time machine.

74. What are you going to ask for next? My Social Security number? Pin number to my bank account?

SLK 350 (r172) @ 60
MGB GT @ 30 ish
Morris Mini 850 ('66 model) was my first car @ 18 & is still the car I had the most fun with so far.
Many others in between!

2005 CLK500, 1996 SL600
Ok, I'm 53. My wife is the driving force behind the Mercedes convertibles, but I do enjoy the feeling with the top down and your left hand up on the side of the windshield frame. The coolest one was a 96 SL600 but her current ride is a 2005 CLK500.
My first "car" was a '71 Chevy Cheyenne and my second was a '72 GTO, so you get the difference in our tastes...

2015 - S550(traded in), 2017 - GLE350, 2017 - SL550
44 and just bought my first SL. So far out of all the Benzs I've had this is my favorite. Although, my S is a close second place with all the gadgets it had. 😀

2007 Mercedes-Benz SL550
I'm 56
Long time VW fan and come from a Golf GTI. I always wanted an SL so a few months ago I just decided to get one. Found a fantastic 07 SL550 with 22,000 miles on it.
When the top is down and my cigar is lit I feel like a million bucks.

I'm 51. Turned in my SL550 last year when the lease was up. Now in an AMG GTS. I think I preferred the SL to be honest. Almost as fast and more refined.

Not to mention much smaller inside. 6'3" and not enough leg room in the GTS for me. That REALLY disappointed me as I doubt the vert will be any better.
