Britney Spears goes car shopping, comes home with 604 horses
The salesman who sold Lindsay Lohan her Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG must have been present when Britney Spears recently rolled into the dealership. According to celebrity site TMZ.com, Britney Spears just picked up a shiny new white SL65. That means once again a young accident prone distracted driver gets a twin-turbo monster (hooray!) with which to aim at unsuspecting bystanders. Wherever will she fit the baby seats? Surely an SL350 would have suited Ms. Spears for her frequent Starbucks runs, but why should anyone think with reason? Now we'll just wait for it to show up on eBay after getting repaired from impacting a stationary object (or human being). You never know, someone might be able to get a sweet deal on this car second-hand. Just watch out for the Frappuccio stains.

They don't make SL350s anymore do they?
Anyway, It's just wrong to waste the massive power of a twin turbo V12 to a dumb celeb.

You can't buy the SL350 in the US but you can buy it in Europe. I doubt Spears could pass a Euro driver's test though.

I doubt she could even pass a US drivers test.

What a waste.... so much potential in the wrong hands... Oh, ... and the SL purchase was unfortunate as well.

So why do YOU buy a twin-turbo monster? Do you all really need to get to where you're going doing 0-60 in .0001 seconds?
Great blog and all but come on -- NO ONE really needs these cars. People buy them because they enjoy them, from Britney Spears to CastleCharles.

I doubt she knows how to enjoy this car
Big John 3:21AM (11/10/2007)
Sure, maybe not enjoy by your standards. She probably enjoys it by her standards. It's a subjective thing.

A total incompetent in a superpowerful car. A very bad combination.

Please stop. You make way to much sense to blog here. Seems like only those with inane comments are really appreciated, and besides, she IS bald now.

Oops, sorry, I was looking where she is supposed to be wearing underpants.

She needs that car like she needs another herpes outbreak. What a waste of human flesh and of a car.

I know one person who is very happy about this...
"For the words of the profits
Are written on the studio wall,
Concert hall-
Echoes with the sounds...
Of salesmen. Of salesmen.
Of salesmen!"

Interesting take, but the word is "prophets".
Changes the whole meaning...or does it?

Actually... it is "profits." You're thinking Simon & Garfunkel...
