Had to LOL

I happened to be on the FCP Euro web site seeing what a few miscellaneous parts would cost and ran across their write up on the SL550.
Gotta share...

"About Mercedes Benz SL550
One of the Most eye-catching vehicles that Mercedes Benz has or continues to produce, the Mercedes Benz SL550 is a futuristic roadster that exudes excellence while still maintaining that undeniable Mercedes Benz signature look. With newer models going fro just over $100,000 dollars, this vehicle is truly a pleasure to drive, and a luxury to own. Some of the Mercedes Benz SL550 original parts include a 5.5 liter V8 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission that has manual overdrive options, and paddle shifting availability for easier access. All these features and too many others to name, coupled with the visual superiority of the SL550 makes it one of the most popular offerings from BMW, even to this day."

That is pretty funny but I have dealt with them and they've been good so far. they are also a car drive away for me which is nice in a pinch.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I wasn't dissin' on the company! i'm sure they're a fine organization with great parts and customer service. It was likely done by a web page developer that uses CTRL+A / CTRL+C / CTRL+V to build the many pages on their web site and published it without any proof-reading by someone who knows the vehicle.
