To replace the neon.... and to give me a bit of smiles while I continue to morn the loss of the bird... I got one of these:

2007 SLK280
V6
A7
228 HP at 6,100 rpm's
221 TQ from 2,700 - 5,000 rpm

3:27 gears
205/55 V16 front and 225/50 V16 rear tires
0-60 in 6.1 seconds

My E350 in my sig has a 0-60 in 6.5 seconds.... we shall have to run it and see what this SLK can do.
Work ran a summer special on the SLK280..... so I went for it. Don't get me wrong... I would normally have gone for the 350... but the 280 has a decent amount of pep.

AIRSCARF
AIRSCARF allows you to keep the roof of your roadster down in cooler temperatures. A soothing stream of heated air to your neck, head, and shoulders helps take the bite out of chilly top-down conditions. With individual 3-stage temperature controls and airflow that automatically adjusts to your driving speed, you'll never want to put your roof up.
Heated Front Seats
Take the edge off a chilly morning or a long trip. Heated seats are a soothing option, adding welcome comfort.
Pic's and times to come.
