2023 AMG sl43
62 when I first got my 07 SL550. Thought my 64 Vette was the best car I ever owned but the SL has replaced it as the absolute best driving, most comfortable car I ever owned. Plan on keeping this baby awhile so long as I can keep extending the warranty. Only 33k and left motor mount leaking already but covered under warranty.

Sl55 AMG
50 and it's my first MB
I always wanted an SL. Growing up I thought the 450 was cool looking. Then the redesign in 2003 was fantastic (so was the price). I payed off the house this year I figured there are no SLs in heaven so I found I very nice 04 sl55 with 37k miles. I would have loved a new one but you know it looks like a new one and you get what you can afford. I may sound crazy but I just enjoy looking at it. It's a great car and god bless.

04 sl55
age is but a number
Your as old as your feel. I was 38 when I bought my sl. I'm now 42 and love the car even more than the first day I bought it.
Some say its an old mans car, but when you pull harder than a stock 06 vette on the dyno even after he hits the juice, then who's your daddy
