Most fun I’ve had on four wheels

So far so good. Great looking, responsive and exactly what I wanted, interior was almost perfect and the cabin amenities are great for an 06.

Wife and son carnapped my 2006 SLK350

I was considering the Boxster S (concerns over the bearing lubrication) the S2000, and the M Roadster. All are fun cars to drive but the SLK felt more luxurious and had a retractable hardtop. The dash is a little dated and the radio is ok, but who cares? I bought it because it's a go cart on steroids and corners like a snake in a rat hole. It's a little tight (6'3" and I'm well into the 200# Club), but once I get strapped in, I just point it and push the gas. It does what I want it to do. Favorite instruments are the wind scarf, butt warmers (old enough to use it for back therapy) and one-touch (and hold) retractable hardtop. Required maintenance can be expensive (Couple bones for oil change), if done at a dealer, but there are plenty Ma/Pa shops that can do the work for less than half. If you can/want to do the work yourself - it's the cost of mobile one, MB filter (parts are available on Ebay) and watching a couple YouTube videos. You can wash and wax this thing in about 1.5 hours. The fella that sold me the SLK left me a goodie bucket full of cleaning products (good sign I overpaid) so I have been using Chemical Guys wash/wax products. They really do a nice job, but everyone has their own favorites.
