Got to get that work ethic ingrained early.
In a few yrs, so it's not like it's a new SL65.

I'd be very happy passing on the Merc to my kid. It's safe, 4 doors (so insurance isn't out of this world), quick, but not fast enough for trouble (errr... maybe) and most importantly the thing is a vault on wheels, now that's peace of mind.
