Hmmm I guess you have them all now so you must know which is faster?

Would love to see the Brabus 6 exhaust pipes on the back of the 600....

I dont know...this is a weird one...claiming ownership of all 3 high end model R230's. Even if it were true, who in their right mind would own and drive all of these cars at the same time unless they were a collector or sultan etc....well I guess its better then ClayJ's 2 Veyrons or was it 3??

Like I said maybe I'm wrong and Bigmac is a R230 SL super fanatic
But dude, come on...with those pics and posts

Cars...

I have them all but in less than a month I am getting rid of the SL55 (it was a lease). I would make all the pics the sam size but I dont know why they all came out in different sizes. (someone tell me how). That is an SL65 I will show you any pics you want. About the 6 pipe system, I ended up selling the exhaust because everyone I showed it to hated it and told me I should get the eisennmann exhasut. So now I am looking to install an eisenmann.

By the way, I haven't had time to race the SL65 vs. SL600 but I did race the 65 vs. 55 from 40 mph and the 65 raped the 55. I will get some videos up soon.

Curious if you have a garage for your beautiful car collection?
Perhaps you just prefer to leave them at work in handicap parking spaces?

I am sure most of us here on the board would love to see a group pic of your SL's
Hopefully with a more scenic background instead of a cluttered parking lot

SL's

The pictures are in a parking lot connected to an office. I own the whole lot, so I park wherever I want. I will get some more pictures of all the SL's together.

P.S. What is the point of lying about what cars I own. Does it do me any good if I lie to you? And can someone tell me how to upload the pictures to come all in one size. Thanks

Just curious...I like the SL alot BUT any particular reason for owning 3 of them? No interest in a different model? I would mix it up a little...IMO

Very nice collection though...

I first had the SL55 AMG before I knew about the other ones. (I leased it). So then I decided I would just wait until the lease is up to get rid of it. Then I bought the SL600 becasue I wanted more power. Now with the SL55 lease almost up I decided to buy the SL65 (as you can see in the picture it is brand new with no license plate on it yet). Beacuse there was some people saying the SL600 is better then the SL65 and some others saying the opposite so I decided just to get both. And for to mix it up, you can see the other cars I own, so I have all the mixing you can get...

Haha. No, They both drive different, and I wanted both, Is there anything wrong with that?

All I did was put on pictures of my cars on a forum and I got people telling me there not mine. What up with that

Since you got new wheels on your SL65, would you consider selling your factory rims?
I am in Orlando so you are just a few hours away.

The only thing wrong with it is that about 4 other guys already did this same thing (took pictures of high-end mercs in garages) and then later were exposed as frauds. You've already seen some of the references in this thread. Also, having three of the same model is a little different. Different is OK but it IS different. One easy way to quench the throng of doubters is to take a pic in a format laidout by one of the long-term guys on this forum. For instance, take a picture of all three sets of keys placed on the hood of the SL65 using the original window sticker off the SL600 for the padding. This would show that (1) you had at LEAST the windows sticker so you probably own at LEAST that car and you have access to all the keys to the different vehicles (parking lot jockies have the keys so simply having all sets of keys doesn't really mean squat but with other things it could be validation). As I've said, some car jockie in San Fran tried this with the veryon's so your simply bearing the prior violations. Nothing personal

not sure about all that, you had said that some people liked the 600 better than the 65, so you decided to get both. i was just wondering which of the two YOU like better, since you own both.

Maybe you aren't guilty of lying, but who buys 2 SL's? I'm sorry, but there is no point to that. What's it matter if lying would do any good to you as you state, it doesn't do anyone any good....but they do it.

I think people doubt you based on several reasons, you have never once mentioned in any of your old posts one thing about a 55 or 65, only that you got a 600. Why would you get a 2004 600 if you have a SL65, would you possibly not go out and get a 2006? Why haven't you posted pics of your cars on the AMG board or ever posted anything at all on that board (likely because they are more apt to call you on it)?

I am not saying you are a liar, but naturally the story itself is not real believable. Who has 3 SL's at once? Then you mention the license plate on the 65 is new...the pic is friggin 300x250, who can see that? There have been alot of frauds on this board.....and quite honestly posting pics of all 3 SL's next to each other wouldn't even do much for me. All people are saying is that if you are going to make tall statements in light of past posers, then be prepared to show proof when people do not believe it, that's all.

Why should i post the same pictures on two differnet post? And I dont really car about the SL55 beacuse its a lease. I had the SL600 before the SL65 and the reason I never talked about the SL65 is because I bought it a little over a week ago.

If I knew how to get the pictures bigger I would (I am trying). I will get pictures of all the keys but I dont know what thats going to do because every mercedes car has the same looking key.

I still don't understand why you thing I am lying. Just becasue some other losers decided to post cars they really didn't have does that mean some else can have a nice car collection without people saying he's a liar?
