Nice! I think this is the first time I actually noticed the chromed rims -- I think you've had it that way for a while though. Really nice accent.

(OK, you need to do something new to the car -- you've got so many pictures in this thread, I'm running out of compliments! )

New Pics after waxing!!

I just got done claying and waxing with Mequiars NXT polymer wax. Love the feel and sparkle of the paint with that wax. Didn't know that this new SL (i had the '06 500 a few years ago) would play DVD's, my last SL wouldn't!!! Showing my Journey concert DVD!

just makes no sense..they opened top storage, popped gove box and looked in ashtray, and trashed seats in the process. ALL FOR 0$ or items...gotta love the city!

I am SOOO sorry that happened to you. I cannot put into words how upset people that do these things make me. There are very few things the get under my skin as much as some trashing someone else's car. Where does someone get off thinking its ok to damage something you worked hard to get? Its not theirs, they have no right to even touch it. Some people would say its just a car, to get over it, but thats total BS in my opinion!! On top of it all the slid across you beautiful leather seats and cut them up. Sigh..... I feel your pain my friend. This has happened to me before.

Thx for the words guys. A it's a crappi feeling. This is my new baby!! I'm taking it tomm to get my radars put in and roof module after trip to insurance company. I'm SO thankful my wife left the glovebox open when she got her glasses otherwise I'm sure it would have been ripped open. Another good thing is they didn't know about the storage under the phone console. That good as I had some cheques, house keys, jet ski key and crap. It's just lame. Little marks all over due to glass. Fingers crossed with icbc.
