If she hasn't traded it in, she might have passed her Porshe on to David, as she is getting a bit old to be driving a Porshe now, as it's a younger womans car, and a Merc saloon is more of a more mature womans car.
She might not be driving that Mercedes for a while because she recently got into an accident with it OUCH!!! Here is an article I found on it.
COX IN CRASH DRAMA Nov 14 2003
FRIENDS star Courteney Cox has escaped injury after a car smash. Cox, who is pregnant with her first child, was in her Mercedes when another car collided with her on a busy Los Angeles street. The actress seemed shaken as she got out of the car to confront the other driver. But the accident was minor and Cox did not appear to sustainany injuries. She looked a picture of health three days later when she was spotted shopping at luxury furniture store Diva. Cox became pregnant after having fertility treatment. She had previously had several miscarriages. Her brother-in-law Alexis Arquette recently revealed on US chat show The Sharon Osbourne Show that she was pregnant. A spokesman for Cox and her husband David Arquette made no comment on the spilling of the beans. But Cox herself recently revealed: ``I feel confident and feel good that we will have a little David-and Courteney combination.''

Yeah, there goes her no claim bonus on her car insurance, I take it Americans have no claim bonuses on their car insurance, I take it American's HAVE car insurance. :-)
Mostly the same wording as in the latest National Enquirer, it was just a bit of a prang, nothing serious, they were only doing around 30 mph.
Yes, America has PLEEEENTY of automobile insurance. The majority of the states now require proof of insurance before issuing car license plates. A driver can even be fined for not having insurance if stopped for any other traffic violation. One of the first things a police officer will ask for, when pulled over for any type of violation is drivers license, automobile registration and proof of insurance. ~~~ Kathy

Interesting, but American dosn't have MOT tests for all cars-except vintage cars-over 3 years old, no MOT certificate, no tax disk, no car allowed on the road.
Vintage cars over THREE years old?? Vintage cars are 20+ years old. I don't know what MOT and tax disk are, but there are plenty of 20+ old cars on the roads here in America, also, who are fully insurable, especially for theft. There are hundreds of vintage car clubs here, as well. ~~~ Kathy
In America, you get car tag renewals each year. Some states have what is called an advoloram (sp?) tax that is added to the cost of the tag renewal. The state I live in does not have this tax. The advoloram tax is calculated based upon the book value of the registered vehicle. From what I know, this is a yearly payment, but will decrease as the book value of the vehicle decreases. ~~~ Kathy

Over her it's a yearly tax depening on engine size. Those under 1.1 liters its �55 pounds a year, over 1.1 it's �155 a year, with no exceptions except for vintage cars.
But, I think the UK definition of vintage car and the American definition are very different. We have special tags for antique cars that are permanent and never need renewing. Here, vintage cars are 20+ years old. Antique would be 30 or 40+. Cars made during 1960 - 1981 here would be considered vintage or "classic" and they fall under the same guidelines as a new car would as far as getting yearly tag renewals. Vintage would be vehicles manufactured 1940 - 1959, give or take. Antique would be everything up from the Model T Ford to that vintage point and they are issued a one-time antique tag that doesn't need renewing.. I may not be 100% on some of these points, but this is pretty much the way it is here. ~~~ Kathy
