1st live SL500 sighting...

Even my dealer doesn't have one on the lot, but spotted this machine in a local parking lot today.

Unfortunately, the guy driving the car had the windows wide open as he slowly cruised the parking lot (it's like 40 degrees here)...and he was blasting Mariah Carrey at full volume.

I was almost embarrased for him.

Honestly :D

I've seen about 5 here on the road in glorious South Orange County, CA in the last week or two. There's one on the floor at MB Laguna Niguel, as well.

We already have 2 Sl500's

along with a S500 and a Escalade.

hopefully we can trade the escalade for a G55, along the way we will be picking up a M3.

SL500, kidding?

I've seen tons of the new SL's here in Atlanta. The group Jagged Edge shares a parking lot with my company. Talkin about some tight rides there!!! SL500 is chump compared to what they have sitting out there. I saw an early 50's maybe 40's Rolls Royce coupe hard top roll outta there the other day. Bangin!! Ever seen a Lambo Murcielago in person? (not at a car show, cheater)

There's a guy that I work with that has a Z8, I would take that over the SL500 10:1!!!!!!

I work for a company called InterAct. We make 911 telecommunications systems. JE has their own studio called "JOI Studios" (pronounced Joy but with the I). That place is FAT!! I've been over there to check it out. Ther have a half court b-ball court in there, HUGE studio, drums studio, vocals booth. TV's everywhere, an overnight guest loft and a killer wardrobe room. Plus a dance studio and some offices. Its in Decatur, GA off of Covington Highway.
