Yet Another New Member!

Greetings,

I'm the very pleased owner of a new, 2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550. I've previously owned everything from an Aston Martin to a VW Rabbit Diesel, but this is my first Benz, and so far I'm enormously happy with it.


I live in Catonsville, Maryland, and one of my favorite activities is to drive to places that are historic, scenic, or otherwise interesting, take a lot of photos, and write up the trip for fellow driving tour enthusiasts. A Fall Colors example, featuring the new SL, will be available on MBWorld soon.

If anyone is interested in my previous tours from the last 15 years, check out rsftripreporter.net. And stay tuned for more!

Rick F.

Welcome! Nice looking SL. Western Maryland is one of my wife's and my favorite parts of the country. Beautiful and not well known.
