I asked my wife the question and she said that the Bentley is her choice. I haven't had enough time to come to that conclusion, however day by day it is becoming more difficult to separate from either. The Bentley does not replace the 65's performance, but it seems to be on a different level of luxury.

Nice choice! I have the convert coming this winter but don't know if I will keep that and the SL65 since they pretty much fill the same spot. If it had a hardtop convert top it would be a much easier choice but at this point I am not so sure I am ready to give up the SL.

I will keep that in mind if I need anything. I have been hanging out at my beach house for the past month. Meyer was down last weekend and we had some fun out on the SeaDoos! How is the E55 running?

Nice, tell him I said hello, let him know I spoke to his boy Craig in NC, hes in a little financial squeeze and needs to get out of his C55, he will get a kick out of that. I hear you have a sweet spot down there. The SeaDoos are so freakin fast these days its crazy. We have a spot on the ocean in Bethany, I try to get down there as often as I can.....I like our eastern shore beaches.

I got 92K miles on this thing and once it hits 100K its time to give her the boot, Ive had it for 5 years its been an awesome car, extremely solid like an old school benz. I really want a 04-06 SL/CL600 thats taken the depreciation hit, but we will see how things are in about 6 months, I just dropped a chunk getting this business going in the last 7 months, gotta recoup some funds.

Actually, its probably his flash causing the color to not look like its supposed to.

If he took a photo outside, in adequate natural light, minus the flash, you'd see the normal color.
