funny, I was pulling into Dannys (16st & Camelback) and saw another one this afternoon (around 2pm) being washed. The first one was exiting the I17 southbound and turned onto Indian school this morning around 10ish....

I'm convinced that half of the world's SL55s are in Phoenix. I see at least two a day. I've seen a few fakes, but most of them appear to be real.

All the cool people seem to have one. I wish I were cool.

I'd argue that the other half are here in Newport Beach!
