yeah, of course i care...first off, its not because of posing purposes...if i wanted to get a car for posing purposes i would get something like a...Corvette ...but if you must know why i'm gettin a merc is because my family keeps on naggin me on gettin a 'safe' car, and in their mind, mercedes' are the safest cars...i would've got thought of gettin the SL also but with the purposes that i need with the car i need extra seats in the back, for ie...long trips to the cottage, bring a girlfriend and my dogs along or seating extra people when needed to...i did mention to my family that the 350z was safe, but its a 'japanese' car, no offense to others, but its not safe in my family's minds...sigh...

Well - I am sure she has the final say so if she's cutting part of the cheque and/or co-signing..

hell yeah...the ML is a hard one to maintain...with a simple Pulley upgrade for the supercharger and a chip...as well as some other mods (headers, intercooler) i could be pushin 400 hps for the c32, at a lower cost than 14k CDN for a supercharger for the CLK from Kleemann which is basically the only modding option for the car right now...

Why do you want to give up a 350Z for a Mercedes? I know your parents are 'pressuring' you to give it up for...safety reasons...but unless they are paying all the bills I would stay with the 350Z. Its a 6spd right, to me that would be a much more exciting car...than some MB.

You have an ML55 for hauling stuff, so why not keep a fun car like the 350Z? Those Mercs are big and heavy and fast in a straight line but slow in corners. And they have automatics...why would you want that? :roll:


Another thing, neons on the ML55?
