That was a nice vid. 
It's always great to see cars of that caliber in action. We have very, very few super high-end cars in Finland. Mainly due to our gigantic car and gas guzzler taxes, which will increase the price of the most powerful (most pollution) vehicles even more next month.
The current attractive list price of an SL 65 AMG is only USD 483,400.00 here in Finland.
However, beginning the 1st of January 2008 an SL 65 AMG will be priced at USD 613,000.00
And the CLS 63 AMG goes for as little as USD 290,000.00. We are so lucky. 
That's an increase of 27% in the price of the SL 65, making it an arbitrage opportunity. The prices of used high-end vehicles are likely to jump up also. At the same time the prices of smaller cars (with small engines and little CO2 emissions) will be dropped by 10 to 25 percent making it very clear what kind of cars our government wants us to drive (C Class Benzes and smaller cars).
You are so lucky living in the USA, the land of cheap gas (our's is double your price!) and literally "free" cars.

Unless most people there prefer it THAT way....

Looking to buy a Benz
(Sorry to take it off-topic here) but few of the useful things that tax money pays us is free common health care and free schools. The universities in Finland have no tuition fees! My friend just graduated from a law school with zero student loan. Being debt free until you start working is nice. Also, free health care comes in handy if one becomes sick and needs some surgery done and ends up staying in hospital for weeks. The total bill of a big surgery and long hospital stay may come to USD 400.00. That's practically free, so there is no need for an expensive health insurance policy (saves some money through your life). In the USA a quick visit to a doctor might be more expensive...

Sl65??????
Hey guys. I am the guy in the SL55 with work done to it. Hey ELIM nice talking to u on another board. The SL55 has some work done to it. Just finished it. When the lambo and I went at it, we were at high speeds (dont want to post speeds sorry). I was hoping we could get side by side, but didnt get a chance to. I also have a tape on my camera when i was ahead of the lambo, but not as good quality. The car puts down 521 rwhp and 554 ftlb of torque. Hey ELIM I wanted to tell u to bring that lambo near me, I wanted to check it out. I want to start playing with Lambos, lol. But hope u guys enjoyed the vid and maybe there will be a part II.

Randomly -No, I was hit by a drunk/opiate/cannabis positive driver which pretty much totaled the car. Insurance took care of it then promptly kicked me off soon after. LOLThe car had a defect at the time of crash that mercedes didnt/couldnt fix so my lawyer got them to take care of the money I owed them for the trade-ins I did. At the end it paid off good but what a horrible day it was.
