Lindsay Lohan once again crashed a car as we all know and we already went into that, now we’re going to talk about the cars. She crashed this specific car, a Mercedes SL65, multiple times. It made me think, why do people like Lindsay and her colleagues in both age range and occupation drive cars that are way too big and fast for them?

Lindsay has had multiple cars in her not that long driving career. She pretty much started off with a Mercedes SL55 but traded that in when the SL65 came out. The only real difference between those two cars is the engine; the SL65 has more power and is a bit faster to 60mph. The top speed is the same, German car makers (except for Porsche and Audi on their top of the range sport models) all limit their cars to 155mph. So why even bother getting a SL65 instead of a SL55?

It’s just a car that’s easier to crash because the electronics can handle the power of the engine in the SL55 but they can’t in the SL65. And I’ve seen pictures of Lindsay getting into that car on flip-flops, that’s asking for trouble. And the car is available with a V6, if you tell your local Mercedes dealer to make it look like an AMG they will. So there really isn’t a need to drive a car like the SL65. But she already has a new car besides that SL65; it’s a Porsche Carrera convertible. At least that’s a car that manages to get its power onto the road. Unless Lindsay finds out there’s a tuner in Germany that will modify it to 900bhp and 250mph.
