There are only 3 cars that I would let her go to make room for: CLK Black Series, AMG GT-S & 2012 Mclaren 12C

12C would be the ****, but GT-S is also quite nice.

Most likely with the CLK BLK I will keep the beast but the other two will cause me to sell it. The GT-S would require new shoes, a tune & down pipes and that would eat up some nice change along with the down payment.... I don't mind the monthly payment I just hate giving up cash out of pocket only time will tell......

Wow that is interesting. For such a (otherwise) well balanced renowned motor that is a major drawback.

Yup. I've seen two in the last two months. Costly repair. I'm really hoping Benz/AMG will step up on this like they did with the balance shaft.
