LOL...I think I left the suspension to the raised setting. I thought about dropping it, but decided against it. I really didn't feel like messing around with the airbag suspension.

Airbag suspension
You don't know your car...do you?
Hydraulic!!!!
...and it's very easy to adjust,high control valve front and rear,8mm and there you go... unscrew-goes up,screw-goes down.

Of course I know my car! My bad, I was thinking of my S Class's airmatic, which can also be height adjusted.

LOL. Didn't mean to offend. The sad face was because he sold the car. I love all cars, just prefer the SL's in black and silver.

Lol thanks, I found it online. But this isn't a pic of the SL73 motor, it is the 600 motor. The 73 Motor has CF Trim on it.

I've read your posts for a while but just joined. Seems like a lively group. I am including pics of my '01 500 with 8500 miles. I've also got an '85 380 (sentimental favorite) and '04 E320 (technically my wife's) but the 500 is the bomb.

Maybe not. Site says the pics are too large and need to reduce. I'm not sure how that's done with jpegs.

Welcome!

SL500 with 8.5K miles? Nice, practically brand new. Try imageshack.us (thanks Ricky) for hosting - you can resize on that site.

Google the words PicPerk.

It is free software that you can import your digital picture file. Resize it. Save the file as a different name.

I found that resizeing to 800 x 600 worked good for posting.

Irfanview is another free and easy-to-use app which can shrink your photos.
