Every time I am shopping in "Atlantic Square" I always notice a silver SL500 parked in the lot...everytime. I assume it must belong to one of the shop owners there. Anyone else notice this particular beautiful car? Is the owner a member of these forums?

If it is Pewter, it may be me. Wife and I go shopping in Atlanta about 6 times a year.

I should have clarified. "Atlantic Square" is in the city of Monterey Park, CA.

hey Tigger....glad to hear you make it down here to shop as much as you do...but there are just TOO many SL500's for a silver one to be yours. Thank GOD it's not as prevalent as the 6-Series has become (there are at least 5 in my neighborhood), but I'm seeing more and more daily.

Gunther,

I saw this parade outside my hotel in downtown Atlanta. Nice customs.

Tigger....I'm so sorry you had to see that. But remaining PC in the height of our social "values" I'll refrain from saying more.

I will note, however, that downtown is definitely NOT the place to stay, especially if you're shopping. I'd look towards Buckhead - there is a Ritz Carlton there as well - unless you're coming down to go to the Merchandise/Apparel Mart. Even Midtown has a surplus of hotels and will leave you about 5-10 minutes from downtown.

PM if you do want more options.

None taken Lorinserbenz....but our parades are much better than that. Really.

BTW...having to say "no offense" clearly indicates that you realize that it is offensive. No offense.
