Mercedes-Benz has created a very successful brand. I mean, 120 years of car making, or crap like that, and when you mention SLK, a lot of people will think it is the Mercedes-Benz SLK.
Apparently, there is a different SLK in the market. Let me tell you a story…
Last night I went out dinner with a few friends. When my friend parked his car in the proper parking allocation, we proceeded to the restaurant. A friend has reached slightly earlier than us, and he whispered to me, “Hey, there’s a SLK here.”
I turned and looked around the car park. There were a few Mercedes-Benz E-class in sight, a few BMW, one Porsche Boxer, a lot of Hondas and Toyotas. But no SLK in sight.
Before I could say a thing, my friend tapped me on the shoulder, “Pssssst. This one.” And he tilted his head to his right.
I looked at it, and there it was, a brightly yellow “SLK”. He asked me to peer into the cabin, and I did.
HOLY CRAP! This guy has very tight security for this car. I mean, from what I can see, besides the factory central alarm, he got a steering lock, a brake lock, and a handbrake/gear lock! I mean, it would probably take the best thief in the world to take 20 minutes to steal the car.
The irony is that SLK, which stands for Small Little Kancil is the cheapest car in the carpark bay. From all the cars I have seen in that carpark, I didn’t see anyone putting up so much security as this guy.
Now, you have to remember one thing. SLK has double meaning in Malaysia. So if someone is telling you that he/she is driving a SLK, remember to ask, “Do you mean Mercedes SLK or Small Little Kancil.”
[Of course, not everyone knows what the hell is a Kancil. Luckily enough I am kind enough to show you this link].
