Day a the beach with the SLK

persian54 · 01-20-2010, 12:16 PM

Well, my car was in the shop... sooo I decided to take my mom's SLK for alignment, full wash, and take a canyon drive to the beach

[this i last week, but I just put the pics on my comp]

With my little point and shoot I can't do much...
but just wanted to share

Nice! Is it fun to drive?

Kiemyster · 01-20-2010, 01:46 PM

the only color that works on the slk is white. EXCELLENT choice!

Mk23 · 01-20-2010, 01:48 PM

Beautiful car, I think I would have gotten one but man do they get pricey fast. Option here, option there and your at 60k. Very nice car though.

persian54 · 01-20-2010, 03:55 PM

it drives beautifully

handles better than my 335i by far

it's slow though lol
well, compared to a tuned 335i...

but handles very very well

nice ride mom has there. The preceding SLK was not the best handling car on the road and unbelievably had recirculating-ball steering, which is rather agricultural by today’s standards. The new SLK is a completely different car, sharing little with the outgoing model bar the name.

persian54 · 01-21-2010, 04:20 PM

yeah the old SLK wasn't too great..

BMdblU · 01-21-2010, 06:30 PM

Was it as emasculating as it looks?

DarqueFun · 01-21-2010, 09:20 PM

I still like my E93 better

Well yeah I love my e93 better too lol

But if I had to chose between a 328 e93 and the SLK 300, I think I would go with the SLK 300 just cause the 328 e93 is too heavy for it's power... but then, you'd have two seats...
my mom just wanted a small car lol
from 3 S Classes to a R Class [mistake, don't flame me!], and now to the SLK

She wants the new Z4 now
Black on Red is what she's looking at

but she has about a 20 months left in her lease heh

it handles, but yeah, the car is weak...maybe if it was a 350, than that'd be something

graider · 01-22-2010, 01:38 PM

persian54 · 01-22-2010, 02:34 PM

But I would NOT turn down a blue SLK 55 AMG
