VIPER_SRT	I was moving from Philadelphia to Chicago and the truck is a rented one along with the car trolly. I could have given it to a moving agency but didnt wanted to miss the fun.	11th February 2009
abhinav.gupta88	Nice Car. BTW whats the truck doing there :D	3rd February 2009
VIPER_SRT	I wish I could get a SLK55 AMG, but this was for my wife and she wanted a hard top convertible not a power freak like we are :). The ride is a bit hard and she drives it occasionally now. Planning to go for a Mercedes SUV next year...either ML350 or GL450	19th January 2009

sumeethaldankar	hi,I see 3 diff people in the pics.Which 1 is u :-)	9th January 2009
Steeroid	Nice, but with a 280 you're kinda stuck for power in a fast-looking car...BEAUTIFUL lines, though.	9th January 2009
VIPER_SRT	Thanks aah78! Its 6 speed automatic transmission. In automatic mode it changes the gears for you but you can switch it into manual mode and just a tap on the gear knob will change the gears. But since it doesnt have a clutch, you dont have the real fun of driving a stick shift.	5th December 2008
aah78	Hey, nice car! Can you change gears or does the car do it for you?	5th December 2008
VIPER_SRT	Thanks Jayabusa, Wish I had more power under the hood but I'm enjoying this car. It has laser precision steering and amazing handling, I'm just wondering what it would be own a Porsche. Maybe I've to work harder in order to afford one :)	5th December 2008
Jayabusa	Congratulations buddy! I am happy that you bought the 280(3.0L) and not the 200(1.8L). I'd rather buy a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic, both being 1.8L's instead of an SLK 200 which is such an underpowered car and which sells for something like Rs.55 lakh in India.	4th December 2008
VIPER_SRT	We have only 3 models here in US. SLK 280 (Now 300) SLK 350 and SLK 55 AMG. I'm not sure if SLK 430 is available in Europe. I got a very good deal on this one, almost 22% off MSRP.	3rd December 2008
sujaylahiri	Looks nice and shiny. Why only the 280 though? You should have got that SLK 430 with the V8 at least.	3rd December 2008
