2006 SL500 Sport
New Member Saying Hello

I just signed up today and already I've found tons of useful information. Looks like I may be spending quite a bit of time on here while I break in my "new to me" 2006 SL500 Sport. I'm new to the SL class, but not to Mercedes-Benz. My first MB was a 1982 230E (European model) while I was stationed in Germany back in my Army days. I actually brought the car back to the U.S. and later returned with the car to Germany and sold it. I've since had two C class cars (240 and a 320) and a CLK430 before buying the SL. I hope I can contribute to this forum at some point.

Welcome, I rode in a bunch of MB's in Germany (85-88) but never owned one there, they were all this yellar color. Where were ya stationed?? I was in Baumholder for my 3yrs there, visited alot of other places though.

Still learning this SL myself, but so far so good, hell of a car, sure wish I could take it on an Autobahn...

I was in Augsburg from 1986-1989, Berlin from 1991-1992, and Bad Aibling from 1992-1995. I did a lot of traveling while I was there and never missed an Oktober Fest in Munich each year I was there.
