LOL. What a coincidence. They have another 09 I am going to check this week but I am getting their incoming 2010. I need to be sure about the exterior paint though. I believe yours and the other 09 is standard black and so is the 2010 that's coming in. I am still undecided between getting a standard black or metallic black.

You say the 2010 RR SC is crap? I looked at them but I never had very good luck with RR. I have a Porsche Turbo coupe and a M6 6 spd man conv. I love the Porsche but the M6 is going in the spring for something else its to much of a touring car for me. You like the r8? I read a r8 spyder is coming out, I am pretty interested with the f430 spyder...

Yes crap because it has only 500 miles and it's already messing up: TFT screen is blinking or going blank, check engine light comes on and off, sun roof doesn't close when you want it.
I am selling it to a relative overseas (all my cars are sold to him when I am ready to sell; he doesn't pay customs nor taxes thus lots of profit for him and I am paid the price of purchase here; win-win situation).
I like the R8, yes. Best handling car I've ever drive and owned but enough of a touring car. It's very low and it's tedious for the daily drive. High revving engines became less exciting for me. It's also sold to my relative; leaving in a week or so.
I doubt you can go wrong with the F430: fantastic car.
How are you liking the G55 so far? Any pros and/or cons?

G55 lots of fun to drive, 5 speed transmission shifts perfectly, very strong acceleration. for an almost 3 ton machine. I have a few cosmetics issues to deal with the dealer about...not happy with the folks over there pretty slip shot for Mercedes dealership, hopefully the service folks will be better than than the sales people. I have second thoughts on buying one with miles on it, oh well

What do you mean by that? I don't get it.
I hate that. If I am not happy, I'll go somewhere else.
Could you explain?

There are a few things that they were supposed to fix and didn't and a few things I noticed after I got home I need to have them address.
What I mean about the miles is there is I have 2nd thoughts about having bought a g55 with miles on it rather than buying one brand new one...I generally don't go for saving a few bucks...Hopefully they will get it right as it is supposed to be "new" as it was never titled....
