1995 SL320- Good bye sweetheart, 2005 SL600 Hello gorgeous! 1995 Ferrari 355 GTS, 2006 BMW M6,
Thanks to all Pulled the trigger this weekend

I am most grateful to all on this forum for your guidance over the past few months
you taught me a great deal about the AMGGT particular the C roadster

great guidance from all
a few misfires with dealers that were surprising in the way they conduct buisness but water under the bridge as we found the right car I believe

2018 GTC roadster 19k miles has upgraded sound, steel brakes ( car for minimal track use like DE ). Ceramic and PPF well taken care of by previous owner excellent report from PPI
thanks to Trent for the Fidelity warranty peace of mind.

now waiting for the Ozarks to show us a few warm days in the winter.
can't wait to learn to enjoy her

thanks all.

My favorite (1) AMG GT year, (2) exterior color, (3) model (roadster), and (4) interior color. I'm tempted to offer you a trade for my red 2020 roadster. My 2018 coupe had the brilliant blue exterior. Great color.

1995 SL320- Good bye sweetheart, 2005 SL600 Hello gorgeous! 1995 Ferrari 355 GTS, 2006 BMW M6,
too cold to drive!

so until it warms up, I get to enjoy the car in the garage and get it ready for the driving season in the spring. Couple of questions

what is everyone doing for a radar detector and more particularly mounting to the car as I hate suction cups. I am very comfortable with the Valentine Gen 2 , and have good success with the Randenso for my BMW, which has Gesture control making the Valentine one a useless squawk box. Second does anyone know how to acquire an owners manual? Car did not come with it and I'm unable to locate one on the Internet .
Picked up a CTEK LITHIUM battery tender as well I'm sure they'll be more questions as I get to know this car more. I did have it out for a few minutes earlier this week when the temperature at 42° even had a top down. Thankfully, the air scarf was amazing.

Hi pilota1

Try this for an owner's manual. Attached in PDF

Best,

Congrats, love the car. My GTS had a K40 radar system installed by the prior owner. Just has an inside remote control, no suction cups.

I had a K40 in my Bentley. It was a cool setup but laser was changing constantly. They had to keep adding laser jammers to it to keep it updated. I stopped when they wanted to put 5 more in the front grill.

Congrats on your new whip! We use the Escort Redline 360C detectors in our cars, along with dual channel dash cams. Don't care for suction cups either but am not bothered enough for a build-in. We also have a BMW with gesture control and there is no impact to the RD...

Some pics...
