thank you everyone. in my opinion SLK memebers knows how to treat new member. not like clubrsx members..(they like to start flame...-_-;; not very sophisticate in my opinion....)

anywayz

weather was bad in MD eastern shore so couldn't take mroe pictures but i'm in loveeee ~~ with slk 280. i drove for almost 300miles i can notice what this car is capable of !!! i tried out top down with air scarf... that is amazing feature up to 60mph...

few things that bugs me thought(i'm a picky person)

paddle shifter !!!!!!!! !!!! i can't stand left right shifting... i haven't seen any car manufactor do that.... this is maddness....i going to get paddle shifter ASAP when it comes out. matter fact i'm visiting dealer later on. that will be the first mod i will go for.

and why is cup holder position is so high up??? what if we ran into bump and spill drink or coffee...-_-;;;;

also slk 280 comes with 16" wheel !!! that's same size as RSX and it's smaller than IS300(it comes with 17" wheel) !!! i meant those cars cost much less and come with great looking wheel. and it was desinged 2002 !!!! however slk 280 stock wheel looks some what doesn't fit with car looks... and i got the wheel and tire warranty for 4 years i think...
and i'm stuck with it for 4 years.... i know i could have upgrade the wheels but gosh...i can't afford all that....

plus why isn't xeon light come with standard... i meant it's benz... those things should be standard...

and A20 audio doesn't read mp3 cds...

and antena is too long and kills the aerodynamic looks...(SL antena will be second mod i will go for)

oh did i mention about seat adjustment... it almost killed me while i was adjusting... and driving... so tricky... i will never adjust the seat while i'm driving....

for the last SLK weight so much. this car need diet !!! too many electronic gadget that puts too much weight.... well i guess i drove a RSX so...( RSX is 400lb less) but it kills the feel of sports car feel in my opinion.

other than that i love SLK 280.
