sl 500
what i did notice is that people in the know compliment on the car all the time. without fail i get compliments most the time from people 40 years old and up. I think the younger crowd prefers PROSCHE etc.
absolute head turner with a real presence on the road !

I used to have one here in Newport Beach, and not one compliment in two years! Ofcourse, around here everyone and their dog drives one so it's really not that uncommon. Come to think of it, I also see hundreds of Porsche's, dozens of Ferraris, etc. The only thing that really turns heads is the occasional Lambo or Aston Martin.

Guess so. Bunch of kids. Not as if I made eye contact or anything.
Just slowly went past them, heard them shout then saw them "waving" to me.
