1998 SL 500
New member

Hey guys.

Just joined the forum. I have a 1998 SL500 Sport that I acquired last year and am loving it. Want to be part of this community and absorb everything R129.

No questions at this time, but just wanted to say hello.

Greg

Thanks for the welcome Jimmy.

I need to take some pics and post. Stay tuned.

I have to say, on a day like today - sunny, 80 degrees, blue sky - driving the SL500 just makes my day so much better. It doesn't get much better than that except maybe driving it on the Pacific Coast Highway somewhere by Big Sur!

Loving this machine. Would love to see some pix! Here are a couple of mine!
