I know a lot of people with anything from SLK to S classes
my cousin and I both had ML320’s, my one friend had ML430, and plenty of random people’s parents had ML320’s a swell; I knew a lot of buddies with black S500’s (2001+), a few E420’s and E430’s; the friend with ML430 also had one of the new C230’s and it was pretty quick and easy to drive
if you want to get one - do it right and get the AMG 
for any questions, MB World is pretty awesome; it was a very small community when I joined, and LOTS of help there!
