True, and so what if parent's buy their kids stuff, be it headphones, speakers, cars, yachts or houses?

^^ It's the very problem with america as to why kids now a days just say "gimme gimme gimme..." without having to work for it.

But more power to them if they/thier parents can swing it....

Ok, well im 14 so i thought i would put up a few pics of my dads car....I will resize if needed.....

Ok, its a CL55 ///AMG, The facelift version, with 2 Superchargers. It is hugley fast, has 507bhp, and de-restricted does 205mph, but gets to 140 very quick! It does under 20mpg (and with current petrol prices in the UK, you Americans really cant complian when we pay £1/litre = $2/litre!)
It has 4 full sized seats (armchairs!)

This car has every extra you can imagine:

TV
Massaged seats
electric closing doors and boot
blinds ect. (i could go on forever!)

IT IS AWESOMELY FAST! AND HAS 4 SEATS!

The guy that originally brought this spent £128,000+ (including extras)

Sorry if the pics are too big, i will change.

Most of the darkish pics were taken after i valeted it, after 7 months of siting there, and just passing its new MOT, i think it looks beatiful, so i took some pics, sorry it was a bit dark, but i like the pics!

Ah... nice car. Looks like you have Distronic and Keyless Go. It's fully loaded isn't it?

I'm jealous...

Get your dad to buy the new CL63 AMG. I love how the 07 CL AMGs look but not too keen on the "stock" ones.

If you have time or the opportunity, could you possibly snap a few night pictures with the Xenons on?

Ours is a few years old, but looks new, we are getting a new door skin (Warranty), as the drivers door skin has gone a bit rusty in a certain place, a laquer (sp?) fault. Other than that, mint. We got ours for 38k, with the personalised number plate... (cant tell you what, but its suits the car

)
Its the twin supercharged version, 2003 ^.

Yeah, i had just washed it after 7 months of sitting there, so it wont be AS clean, but im back in 2wks, so i will snap a few in daylight, and a night shot with Xenon's on

After my dad not driving for 7months+ (Hes disabled, but broke ankle) He got in it to take it for an MOT, and booted it to 125 down the motorway, so i think even though his legs are weaker than they were, he can still drive fast, and well! Still going into rehab (Another week to go) Hopefully he will be able to walk a bit further, so wont need his weelchair in the boot again....

Its so fast, i have been in it at 145, and it got there so quick, on the dual carriageway, it would have gone on to the limit, 155, easily.

Unlike the Sierra Cosworth he had which took ages to max out after 150, this is effortless.

I wonder if it would get to 205 that easily when derestricted??

205mph is probably a bit optimistic, even in a car with so much power. The CL is a pretty darn heavy car after all and you'd probably need a track at least a couple miles long. Rent an airfield for a day or befriend Jeremy Clarkson?

 

[Baines93]

I wish we had to take it to germany for the door skin, we could make a holiday of it (i'd love to go) and use the autobahn

We could get it lowered a bit more, maxed out, and de-restriceted, and i bet my dad would push it down the autobahn at 200mph+ (he's a great driver!)

 

[milkpowder]

Brabus?

I wish I had a fast car (or a car). The McLaren F1 LM is pretty high up on my list

Lol, Dream on
