Pics of my SL

Hey guys, I just got my 06 SL this past monday

It was a busy week at work so I had to wait until today to get off some good daytime shots. The clouds rolled in to vito my shoot although I did manage to get off a few good ones. I might be heading out tommorow morning to get some more interesting shots...enough talk.

I just noticed something, do the doors on the SL swing upwards a little when opening? I know the Aston-Martin DB9 does this, but it looks like the SL does too? Or is it just the curve of the doors that makes it look that way?

Very Nice! How about a couple shots of the interior?

How was your buying experience at FJ Mercedes? Did you have to argue with them for hours to just get the deal you knew you would get in the first place?

It was a pain in the ***, you have to write down everything they say as it will be sure to change the very next moment! I had to spend a lot of time with them but I did manage to get a good deal

Here's a shot of the interior taken at night...i'll have to take some more pics as this one is pretty grainy.
