turned down a drive.
My bosses wife asked me if I wanted to drive her 2 day old S 430 Benz. I was like HELL NO. She knows I'm a "car guy" and she (and my boss) are cool as shit. But fuck that. I couldn't imagine something happen to that car on my watch.
Never thought I'd turn down a offer like that.

It's a 1999 with 282 horses bit heavier than a CL. He's always talking smack so I told him I'd race him whenever he wants. Take those test drives. My friend won't drive my car because he says it's too new but I wish he would.

But, the outside is boring no actually...BORING. I think that is what he meant.
I am curious about the CLK500. Boring (worse?) outside but sweet engine.

The "500" engines on MB are pretty shitty for how great everything else is, IMO. A 5.0L V8 should be making more (atleast horse) power than that, but the torque leaves you a happy driver. That, and the shitty low rev transmissions make me kinda mad, when seen on a 100k+ car, but yeah, it's all good.
Dad's got an S500, and I drive it weekly. I dig my car more just because it's mine.

Hint, it's not a CLK430.
Oh and the CLK430 does not do 0-60 in less than 6sec, try 0-60 in like 6.4 (the CLK500 does 0-60 in 5.7-5.8sec).

Oh wait, if your car is a CLP then maybe not. A CLS would be ballpark, with the CLP slightly slower.

according to Edmunds when they compared the clk to the CL-S, BMW 330 manual, Volvo C70....the clk 430 had the second fastest 0-60 with 6.1 and the BMW 5.9. It did the 1/4 in 14.5 and trapped at 97.5 fastest 1/4 speed cause the Bimmer was only 96.6 and the cl-s 95.4
I know that it doesnt compare to the M...not too many do but it holds its own.
