1st - Do not buy a TT Z with 175k miles on it and not have SOME money left over for when things break - that's assonine 2nd - It is a 500 dollar problem - fix it. If your parents are willing to fork up the money for a new Benz they ought to "loan" you the money for a new clutch 3rd - If that would have happened to me when I was younger my parent's solution would have been to buy me some running shoes not a new fucking mercedes and told me that the Z was my decision 4th - I don't want to nit-pick but the second picture is of a CL not a CLK - there is about a 40 thousand dollar difference between the two. Personally I would not cut the grass with a CLK - too many metrosexuals would be hounding you 5th.......nevermind I have to move on - too much time spent on a post that should be deleted
