Fall-ing In Love With My SL Again....

Some of us live in areas where it is very hot most of the year and riding top down, windows up, even with the AC running full blast is just no fun! Yesterday we had a brief moment of 70F temperatures here on the Texas Gulf Coast and I went for a pleasant 2 hour drive on some peaceful back country roads top down.. Ahhhhh, Life can be good!

My SL is rarely driven with the top up, whether we are in OH or FL.

Well, If you enjoy driving in 95-100F temperatures with 80% humidity all the power to you!

That doesn’t sound like fun. It’s 85* and 65% here now.

I lived in Brisbane Australia - very hot and humid as well. SLK -----morning and evening in summer was fine with roof open but in the heat of the day in summer the roof was closed. - that is the beauty of the car .....the opens and closes so easily......and you don't have to leave it in the garage at home.

69 degrees in Nashville yesterday, not a cloud in the sky. Top down, Natchez Trace cruise then back country highway. One of the reasons I do enjoy this automobile.
