Just picked up my Silver Arrow SL500
i'm a happy man! have wanted one of these since 2001. found a super-clean 26k mile original beauty, and plan to keep this one for awhile. It's such a more solidly built car than either the SLK 320 or '05 E55 I used to have. Hearkens back to the glory days of Mercedes engineering -- even the interior switches are all heavy-duty.

Pics to come this weekend.

Congrats man. Now all you need to do is yank the motor out of your E55 and drop it in the SL.
