SL/GL together
I was leaving the parking garage at the local casino today and spied this SL in Black on Black parked way off by itself. I shot some iPhone images of it along with my GL in the background. I must say I was impressed with the SL and am a little hyped...

I hope that you'll be able to park your SL much better than the knucklehead did in your pic. Not only did they park away from the crowd, but they made sure nobody could get near them either.

Now that your SL is on its way via Reno, keep in mind WordSmith lives in Reno and may take a liking to it. Better keep that helicopter running just in case.

Hope to see you Saturday if all works out.

I think this was the maiden voyage for the SL and it had CA plates... he was probably concerned with dings.

Greg said all had to be perfect for Saturday to work so I am doubtful at this point. He said he would check with the dispatcher tomorrow again and call me with the latest.

Final GL550 Picture Post
A great SUV finds a new home somewhere. The 5000+ mile trip across the country proved to me this is not your run of the mill truck SUV. Both a luxury sedan and sports sedan in a SUV body. Mercedes did themselves proud with this machine. Enjoy your rides

No need to order hoodwings! Maybe you need some louvers like the SLR on there!
