Realizing of course that this is no big deal, I thought it very funny that someone would be trying to sell this car "BRAND NEW" on e-Bay and didn't bother to fix the apparent problem in this picture which as we all know in reality is no big deal...BUT STILL?

StephenK

Maybe he is the one malfunction with the car.

The malfuntion is actually the Mercedes "onstar" thing not being activated. I have to look at that warning on my car because I did not reactivate. Unfortunately, there is no way to get rid of the warning except to reactivate.

The car has about 30 computer modules which as you know from your own computer can misfire at any time. This happens all the time on these cars and is no big deal.

All he would have had to do is shut the car off and turn it back on and the fault is automatically erased.

Anyone familiar with these cars for any period of time knows this and I just find it kinda funny that they didn't bother to fix it.

A first time buyer might be frightened by it and choose another Mercedes on e-Bay.

Just seemed silly to me they didn't take that extra second.

Another classic "Duh" moment.

man its hard to tell lovinsl600 and stephenk apart, your avatar and sig are almost identical!

LovinMercedes

That is because I saw StephenK's signature and well, yes, I copied it.

Hey that must be one of the MANY Sl's I had!

While I thought the picture was funny, the link below is with mixed emotions although in my heart I know it is the right thing for me.

To all of you I wish you good luck!

If you look at Lovin's recent ebay purchases, you'll see he's switched allegiance big time, though how a "NWT JUICY COUTURE SMOCKED VELOUR TUBE DRESS COAL M" fits into Aston Martin ownership, I have yet to figure out. LOL. Very well presented listing though!

LovinMercedes

BlueSL,

Very good...

Don't you think the wifey went a little nuts on those Juicy Tube dresses?

Again BlueSL, good one. She is busted on the tube dresses.

blueSL

Yes, we have a similar shoe problem here...

Wish you luck in selling your car, it is stunning with the customization you have done, just a pity it didn't work out.

LovinMercedes

Thanks blueSL but hopefully it will make someone very happy.

Lovin, did you catch the April issue of Automobile? It features an article by Ezra Dyer on drag racing an SL65, specifically an Aegean Blue SL65. That really is a beautiful color, especially w/the 65 wheels. Sorry yours didn't work out, but please stick around and let us know how the Aston works out as compared to the SL.

Sorry for the

PA55AMG

How can you compare an Aston Martin Vanquish to an SL. They're completely differerent cars. I feel bad for Lovin, most of his posts dealt with how happy he was driving around with the top down. Now he is going to be in an Aston coffin.

LovinMercedes

Thanks PA500SL,

While I am sure there will be times when I will miss bombing around in my top down gorgeous 2005 SL600, I am not sure too many people are going to feel sorry for me when they see me in that sexy Meteorite Silver 2006 Vanquish S.

Want to hear something surprising? My username on the Aston Martin forums is LovinVanquishS. What a surprise?

PA55AMG

You should keep both. The Astons are neat cars, but it's not going to be nearly as relaxing to drive as the SL.

LovinMercedes

I know but it just isn't in my heart anymore.
