Yeah... sometimes it looked black and I couldn't tell if it was the light or the car was grey. I guess the color really doesn't matter... the SL is Beautiful...:-)

I haven't seen an Aegean Blue SL here for a while, so I thought I'd post mine.





And let's hear it for PhotoShop! Here's the before of the above picture. Thanks for breaking the "make it better" ground, Nevada Jack!

Thanks YamiFanatic!

It's funny -- I should've mentioned -- one of my friends who saw these pictures said, "Is that how Mercedes drivers normally park? No wonder nobody likes them!"

Great looking SL and color.

Funny, my pictures look the same way, sometimes in the crosswalks. Maybe we do all park that way...:-)

Re-do on the post processing

Added a frame and tweaked it a little, also removed some white road markers which can be seen in the signature version of this shot.
