Nice pics.
And damn! Talk about getting jacked around. I hate when that chit happens. Every day they tell you tomorrow, tomorrow they tell you tomorrow again.
Get that can of whoopass ready if they stall you again. I'm guessing that most of this is the dealers fault?

Wow, just incredible.
When I used to live in the South, they would have surely said, "Ya dun good boooyyyyy". Man I miss the south sometimes. SEC football, Southern talking women....but I digress.
Back on topic, ONE OF THE NICEST SL's I'VE SEEN!!!

Look great! My CLS will have the same engine (plus rear DVD entertainment and COMAND video conversion) when I get back from San Diego on Friday 
What rims are you putting on ? The 030 package is expensive if you don't keep the AMG wheels, though you can recoup some of the cost by selling the AMG wheels/tires on Ebay.

......and Jeff and his beautiful car drove off into the Utah sunset and were never heard from again. Some nights though when the air is still and the moon is full, if you listen reeealll close, you can still hear the faint noise of the blower in the wind.....

It is very close to the pictures we have seen. Berry Red, Ruby?? I just stopped and took a bunch of pictures. The camera lens didn't open fully or at all on some shots.
Here is a teaser of the interior. My monitor shows the color pretty close.
You can see what I mean by the lens not opening fully.
Excellent pictures inside and out by tomorrow night.

Jeff, how do you perceive the new Renntech modified 55K compared to the Kleemann K1/Evo IC modified 55K in your CLS ? The SL & CLS weigh about the same and have the same gearbox. Of course the Renntech is much more coin and your 2007 SL already had the bigger TB...
Also did you get pre- and post- dynographs for the SL ?
With any luck I'll have my CLS back Friday afternoon with the Renntech 5 completed. My tuner has a Dynomatics which gives readings about 10% lower than the Dynojet, from what I've read. But since the pre- and post-dynos are being done on the same machine, I should have a very clear indication of the effectiveness of the Renntech mods.
Enjoy your car !!!

By Car
From the south, you will approach our area via Hwy 160 (that runs east to west across the Navajo Reservation). At Kayenta, turn north on Hwy 163 to Monument Valley.
From the north, follow Hwy 191 from Moab, Utah, through Monticello and Blanding to Bluff. Then take Hwy 163 to Monument Valley. The best road map for the region is the widely available AAA “Indian Country” map.
