We purchased our first European motorcar last week. It's used. 2011 Mercedes SLK 300. If anyone has any insight as to what we can expect to break first (things that might never break on a US made of Japanese made auto) please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I just sold a CLK430 convertible last week.

I don't know if the top is hydraulic or cables, but any seals related to the top , from running the pump to keeping water out of the boot - by something to treat the seals to keep them from dry rotting. That will save you serious money.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

I live in the desert. Water evaporates here instantly. I hope there are youtubes out there that show me what to do to save me that money.

Snow turns into Brine in my neighborhood, then your car marinates in it for 2 weeks

Don't be stupid. Ecat is more sophisticated than that. They are on jack stands.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Saw a car fly past me on 71N. 2 miles later he's spinning on his top and on fire. I love karma.

Dude was 87.

Gotta be more to the story. He's from Blue Ash so next exit was his. So he was either starting to get over or stroked out. Hopefully he stroked out or else he burned alive.

If only IB was the driver....

If I was driving, and I saw you on the 71, I would have run you off the road

current work situation - we have 37 open positions for software architects , all jobs that pay at least $110K a year

and we can't fill them. We just landed another contract where we'll be adding an additional 8 people to that headcount need in a 2 months.
