Hey MB...thanks. Decision was easy on the '08 vs the '09... money...:-) With $18,000+ off the '08 it was a no brainer for me. The S63 is still in my dream book...on the last page...:-)

I am giving a dusting of brake dust off the GL to Jen for you to save for posterity and profit Nish. I am having lunch on Saturday with she and Allen.

Jack,
Back in a previous job I used to drive MB test cars in Stuttgart. I really miss those days.
I think I drove about all of their cars and to be honest, the one which left me with the best memories was the SL. Can't describe the feeling of driving it.... What a pitty you can't take it to the autobahn. That would be even more fun because it is made to drive fast. 160mph and it did not even move when overtaking trucks at 60mph. Sure it also has the sexiest curves MB ever designed.
I am sure you'll love it.
It's the perfect car when the kids are out of the house...

Getting closer
Looks like Saturday or Tuesday at the latest.
Posted a shot on the pic thread and a URL for a few more of a twin SL550 in a parking garage with my GL in the background.

Congratulations, Jack! I always loved the looks of the SL in its many iterations, even when I was strictly a BMW guy. Enjoy it in good health, you deserve it!
By the way, I'm taking many pictures with my 40D, but post-processing with my old PC has been very slow. I'm about to make the jump back to Mac, so hopefully I'll have some images to share with you soon.
