06 SL55 for sure. Let the first owner take the depreciation hit and you still can get it certified/warranty. 493HP tanning machine and easy to mod for major HP if you want. Also a very solid and safe machine. Surround yourself in 4200#+ of luxury.

SL55! I think you are 20 years old and with that car you have more fun.

Yea...I was born in 87.

How about a Maserati Quattroporte? They're kind of cheap.

Has to be 'tame'...or at least look the part because my mother thinks i'll crash and die if I get a sports car like a Porsche GT3.

Stick with the SL then - tell her it's a cruiser, not a speed demon.

IMHO, the SL body style is very outdated. It has the basic look-and-feel for quite awhile now, and I suspect Merdedes must be thinking about a new body style soon (SLR nose incoming?). Therefore I would stay away from the SL until the new body style comes out...

The simple answer to this question will solve your dilema:

Would you rather:

A. Drive around with one REALLY hot girl

or

B. Drive around with 3 just hot girls?
