My car is white because it is the color least likely to be in an accident.
I like that my vehicle is fuel efficient. I also like that it is in great condition. I don't like the cost of insurance for the vehicle.

My 2012 cl Mercedes Benz.
The car runs beautifully and it is a great looking car. You can put unleaded and unleaded plus in the car. It has 4 gears that you can put from eco to sport. It has a sunroof and all black. There are no problems with the car whatsoever I plan on keeping the car for a while. The engine in it is v6 engine and it shows.

My CL63 AMG biturbo
This car was the last of the classic looking Mercedes S coupes. Expensive, very low production, and rear wheel drive which make the car more fun to drive. Being the end of the series, the problems of the earlier CLs have been solved for the most part. The car has been bulletproof for us. I like driving the CL63 more than my Aston Vanquish. The best part is that it’s so rare you seldom see one on the road and here in Palm Beach, that’s saying something . Lots of admiration from the valets. That says something too. It’s truly the gentleman’s GT.
