My new plates came in.
Can't believe they were available.


Just thought I'd add this one too.

I had a spoiler on my 2013 and decided I like the “no spoiler” look better. Since I try to channel Cary Grant while driving down Pacific Coast Hwy, rather than Emerson Fittipaldi, the cleaner, less aggressive look works better for me.

That spoiler on the red car is certainly ugly. The face lift version is subtle and understated and breaks the empty vastness that is the roof storage/trunk on the SL.

Wow! They let you have those in California? Isn't that some kind of CAFE violation?
