New member!

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I recently picked up an 05' SL600 as my new daily driver. I have owned 8 Mercedes in the last 15 years. Until recently, my car chat has been limited to Ferrarichat.com (TimsBlackF1). I'm hoping to learn more about Mercedes, and meet some nice people along the way. As a sidenote, is anyone active in the Southern CA Ferrarichat forum?

Funny you should ask about making it faster. I was ready to pull he trigger on the Renntech upgrade until I saw the recent negative posts. Now I'm not certain what direction to go in. I'm open to all performance suggestions. So far, my only change has been an upgrade to the 19" SL65 AMG wheels.
