Ok so my parents want me to sell my viper because it is too much power, maintenance, and the insurance is too high. They are trying to talk me into a Mercedes SLK 320 convertible. It is a lot less power, and the insurance would be much less. My concern is that this car might me too girly for a 16/17 year old. I would only have the car for around a year because once I go to college I will get to buy another viper. I am just wondering what your opinions are on this car, what the maintenance is like, and if there are any better options in that class of car. Thanks everyone.
