What do you think about your Benzie?

What a car...!!! My is just over a year old and gets better and better, smooth as silk and a blast to drive and get's the looks all the time. At Daytona this last weekend, Grand Am final (pit crew for my friends Audi) people loved the car and the way they talk, you would think it was the first one they had seen.
Think we have on the the best of the best for the money vs. fun

18 Mph and loving it!
Okay, so I didn't buy my benz to step on the gas so much as ride my brake.
I bought my car for commuting on Toronto's totally screwed up highway system. For my return trip the upfront display calculates that most days I average a cool 18 Mph for the whole trip.
And I totally love it. My commute used to be the worst part of my day... now it's my best. Love the bose, the comand, the roof...
Mission accomplished.
And on Sunday afternoon I take it up north to raise the average a bit!
Car's awesome. Better than the 911 I owned. Not as fast but so much more civilized and comfy, while still going like hell and cornering like it's on rails. Plus the office babes STILL want rides in it three months after I first brought it into work.
That car's proof positive that materialism really isn't as empty as some would have you believe!

mine saved my life...
so i'm on the freeway, merging from a middle lane over to my right--between two cars--then over to the right again, into a 2-lane exit...that isn't a 2-lane exit, but a 1-lane exit and a concrete wall directly in front of me. slam the brakes, jerk back left, foot in the gas tank...and i'm back between the same two cars without a scratch. ok, so the guy in the 540 behind me helped the crash not happen, but between him and my benz, my passenger and i are still alive to recount this story.
to say i love the car is clearly an understatement. love, love, love the car.

Had mine since Jan. 1 ticket for 80 mph in a 55, and still love it, just have to enjoy it a little slower,
how I like my benz
I had my Benz for about 5 months. I made it thru the winter in ct. This was the worst winter in ct. in years and my little Benz did very well. Finally spring has sprung and the car can be kept clean for more than a few hours. The mileage is about 23 in the city. The c230 coupe has good pick- up and great cornering the most fun new car I ever had. My co-workers all thought I got a big raise.
