can we take this smackdown please? Nothing like fresh meat on Christmas eve. :banana:
Just bought a 2014 SLK with a manual transmission

- Start date
My father-in-law just bought one of these as well. His is a manual. Not sure if it has dynamic handling on it or not. But it has heated neck warmers! He had no more room in his garage for it, so he GAVE me his BMW z4

Could careless what he owns, who's to say he doesn't?
Just wanted to see if you actually knew what model you were talking about sense your description was like a women that knows nothing about cars ....I guess you just answered my question
oke:
I think she was referring to her manual 6 speed ctsv
Quit thread jacking.
I'll be back later to clean this up.

That's exciting. Can't wait to see pictures.
Putting a price to something publicly opens you up to a pissing match IMO. The sticker could have been posted without showing the price tag.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Not understanding all the hate. Congrats on the purchase OP post some pics when you get it in
So do all Mercedes owners typically claim to be shrinks?
I laughed.
Most of the psychologists I know drive Volvo XCs, Buicks, or Volvos. :/ I know we aren't actually discussing psychology, but it makes clients uncomfortable if you flash money.
Just like an attorney I know that used to be a contractor. He would show up to submit bids in his Porsche and would get absolutely nowhere, so he bought a Toyota pickup and business went up.
LOL. I'm dying. Okay- so some updates:
The car came in (haven't taken any real pictures of it yet since work has been devouring my life, but have one off my phone) and this thing is actually SO much fun to drive. The turbo lag is annoying.... but that's the curse of MB's 1.8L i4. Aside from that- seriously so much fun and handles like a dream. Gotten a lot of weird looks from people at stoplights when it's 30 degrees and I have the top down, but it actually gets pretty hot in there with all the heaters and such.
Frankly, the price thing- really...? lol At least half of y'all have spent more than that on your car and mods, so why does it matter? I'm not bragging about buying an expensive car, cause Lord knows I'm not paying that much. There's just no need to go out of my way to white out a couple numbers. We're all adults (i think...) and I'm pretty sure we can all not give a crap about how much it cost or didn't cost. I got this as a fun car as I'm not married, have no kids, and no social life. I love it. This thursday, if the weather cooperates, I'm gonna take it out for a shoot. It rained after I got it detailed so it's all nasty again. I forgot just how high maintenance black paint is. Totally worth it.... just saying.

Mod that little thing. Bolt-ons will fix the lag issue. A nice free flowing exhaust and intake with a better tune will pep that thing right up.
Although I find it strange mbz uses a 1.8l, he'll even vw graduated to a 2.0t.

I think I saw fifth gear review one. They seemed to think it was ok, slightly disconnected and slow, but a decent car. I don't see it as a driver's car or my choice for 50k, but it's not inherently bad.

Don't pay any attention to the price comments, it comes from ppl who are insecure about their own pocket book. Glad you are enjoying your new toy and how would you compare it to your last toy?

Well glad you like it. But you sound like your bragging about how you spent your money. If you really don't care don't talk about it. You sound like snob. Better turn that around real quick cause once this hits smack down its gonna get nasty.
When did she talk about it? When did she bring it up ? Before the last post that she was just laughing at everybody focusing on that one aspect that was never mentioned by her
:dw::nonono: fail
