Here in Boca Raton FL there is one on almost every corner. Not too many cars get me excited anymore as whatever you can think of may be just around the corner...

Whatever I feel like

When I went to the Nashville dealership (which is 2 miles from where I currently live) they took an '03 sl55 amg off the floor for me to drive and also took a brand new S600 off the floor for me to test drive. They also let me test drive an E55. I loved the SL55's interior and feel on the road, but liked the 600 engine (quieter, more power, quieter exhaust) better. In the end I decided on getting my Cayenne Turbo, but now I want my SL600 too if I can find the right one at the right price.

2005 SL65
Rjc...
you said it. but more often than just on every corner in boca and even in lauderdale. valet areas at both martorano and mezzaluna often are like watering holes for super-luxury cars.
walking to an alternate entrance into the building where i am now, i passed an SL65. i'd previously walked by a noble, porsche GT, bentley GT (which usually is parked near my car and my neighbor's CL55), and on and on.
it's really quite remarkable.
