what the?!
i saw this car in downtown vancouver a month back but i couldnt snap a shot with my phone cam b/c it was dark out. anyway, i was on a local forum tonight and came across a picture of the same car. i thought i would share it. it might be an instructors car but why use an SL?! 
i wish i went to this driving school!

If the owner of the car knew what was good for him, he would not let some student try to learn parallel parking on that thing... 
I'd almost suspect that the school caters only to C-lais...

Hmmm looks like a photoshop'd image
If it was a instructor's car where is the second mirror?
And since driving schools have to be licenced there would be a secondary plate mounted on the bumper

I never took drivers ed. I thought that it was a waste of time/money.
Maybe he drives the **** out of the SL and he was trying to be funny. Kinda like Rob Ferretti's supercharged corvette.

Seeing that it is in Vancouver perhaps it is a spoiled little rich kid that comes from Hong Kong money?
The SL55 is the stepping stone to the SLR
"Son, learn how to drive this cheap Benz, and we'll buy you a real one once learned the driving basics"
"We'll give this to your sister after"
overheard as the dad is getting in to his Maybach

I doubt the driving school would have that blue thingy hanging in the windshield. Doesn't make sense, but then again who knows, it's Canada, rules might be different there regarding driving schools. I used a Toyota too.

I wasnt doubting you saw it... by "something's strange" I meant its strange someone running a driving school wouldnt be using the ICBC branded L or N. I question if he's really running a driving school or if its a joke like the pic of the corvette.
