You aren't going to believe the speed that thing has! What it lacks in the "exotic" factor it more than makes up for in speed, real world useability with a drop top to boot! Have fun.

Congrats to you. Why does the steering wheel color (black) not match the rest of the interior(ash), is it covered in something other than leather?

Delivery day!!

Real crap New England weather and a big storm is on its way, but here are a few snaps.

Not sure why the steering wheel is black... didn't even know it was not supposed to be. But a lighter color would be sure to get dirty with my bad habits!

I purchased from Flagship Motors in Lynnfield.

Cool

Simply Awesome! The steering is the same as mine, therefore I believe that it is standard. I've seen three SL65's and all of the steerings are identical.

We need a permit? What permit?

Car is scaring me just a little. Wet roads in the morning today and it dropped 30 degrees and the ride home was crazy. Stop and go traffic in a few inches of frozen slush on the freeway. Twice I got to see my @ss end by the passenger side. It was like snowmobiling with 600+ HP. Once traction grabs front end though, it’s an ice rocket.

No posing for pictures today. I WANT DRIVE THIS CAR!
