SL 65 coming home!
Well, after a few months of going back and forth between what cars to get I had it narrowed down to a Gallardo and an SL65. Although the Gallardo to me is more exciting and has that certain something that is missing in the SL I think the SL has more of what I want in a car. Its more useable and unfortunately blends in more in parking lots so it can be driven anywhere. The SL has more creature comforts and the hardtop convert. can't be beat. I am picking it up tomorrow afternoon so I will post driving impressions once I get some seat time.

I went from a Ferrari 360 to the SL65. Ferrari sat in the garage, or repair shop too often. I drive the benz about every day.

After a nice 3 hr drive home from Pa to Md its finally home! Wow this thing hauls a**! My buddy and I drove up this am in his C6 vette and had some fun on the way home on I-95. I thought that vette was fast but the SL is something else especially at higher speeds when you stomp on it. It would blow by the vette even when I let him floor it before I nailed it just to see how it could reel him in. Over all I think I made the right choice. The car is an 05 Silver Arrow so it has the carbon fiber and designo black leather interior as well as the silver arrow paint (which looks pretty much like brilliant silver to me). I will take some pics soon and post em up. Thanks for the help guys.
