What's UNIQUE about my car.

Stats:
An older car, that has been nicely updated w/some creature comforts.
I use this car as my daily commuter for the last 3 years (130K and going strong).
I've clocked the car. It's stock HP is 250hp...it can do (w/the torque converter)..around
6 to 6.2 seconds in 0-60 times. The suspension and handling out handle the CLK430, 540isport
w/ease.

I have every form of mobile media to make my commute tolerable. TV, DVD, RADIO, MP3, CD.
The leather is buttery soft and has held up well. The HIDS (fogs and headlights) look like a freight train at night.
The torque converter provides a nice little punch to this older car.
The clear corners and HIDs, coupled w/the lower more agressive stance and wide dish wheels really make the car stand out from other SC's

It's been my baby for over 3 years and it's been good to me.
Not a fast car by today's standards..but has punch and w/my creature comforts..I like to just endjoy the ride..=)
I am still not ruling out a supercharging effort later, but Nasdaq robbed me of a lot of my funds...so we'll just have to see.

I'd like to hear wuts interesting and unique about your cars...let's make this a great thread!
