I don't know what it is but I've realised that an SLK55 gets a hell of a lot more attention than my E55 from the police.. Recently my gf was given the SLK to drive while her skyline was being fixed for a couple of weeks. She let me drive it a lot.. We were pulled over 5 times in 2 weeks for no reason at all. I had this kind of conversation every time:
Cop: Is this your car?
Me: No, a friend's
Cop: Who is your friend?
Me: Actually.. we dont know who it is or where they live
Cop: Wtf.. so a stranger lends a 22yr old a (US)$200k car for no reason
Me: Yes
Cop: "...."
Me: Have a nice day
Only been pulled over 2 or 3 times in the E55 in almost a year. I miss the SLK, it was a little go kart with a jet engine

I thought we were in a recession and then I see all these kids (no disrespect) owning these awesome cars. Like said before, if I had my E55 in my 20's I would have never seen my 30's.
I am 46, hot girlfriend that is 34. Hopefully, I will see my 50's and up if one one of the two don't kill me.
PS I had her before I got the beast!

Old enough to not really care how old the rest of the people on here are or whether or not they paid for the car themselves or if mommy and daddy bought it for them...
