They are OK I guess. I'm just more of a stock kind of guy.

Right. I agree with you 100%...

The SL65 may not be similar to the SLR in a few ways, but it's still a hell of a car.

The one on the right looks ghetto fabulous. The one on the left is the Monarch Euro63RS and it's not bad. Quite a few of them out there on MBs now since they look similar to the S63 Performance Package wheels.

I think I know why you're wife gave you the "OK" on that car. That is a girl's car! You might want to be careful

SL65 is more of a tourer/roadster than a supercar tourer like the SLR.

I love that supercharger whine.

I've never had the luxury of hearing or driving one. They are sweet looking vehicles. After I made that comment last night, it got me interested in checking them out on Ebay. The cheapest price was around $240K with only 10K miles on it. That would be a great deal if I could afford it.

In the video, did the SLR's door close by itself?

Do they all do that? I had no idea...

Nah, they probably just had somebody hiding out of the camera's field of vision and close the door.

EDIT: I see the part that you were mentioning. I don't/didn't know they do that. It's pretty cool.
