Driving in Vegas the other day and spotted this car, could not tell what it might be. Anyone have an idea? Kinda looks like it has the proportions of an SLK.

I have no idea. The exhaust tips look a little Mercedes-ish, like on the GLK350. If I had to guess, I'd guess like you with SLK with a totally different body than what it will eventually look like. They're probably just testing the powertrains/mechanical (under skin stuff) with this mule.

Not to be a dick, but where did all of this "would of" (and "could of") bullshit come from? I've been seeing this all over the internet lately.

Do you really think that "would of" makes any kind of sense or are you deliberately using slang? I'm guessing that this is how semi-illiterate people say "would've" which is "would" + "have" but how could "would of" make any sense?
