New to forum My Benzes
I put all these in photobucket so the first ones are of my older benzes and my '96 Ferrari 355 the RR Silver cloud III belongs to my father to him its the greatest car ever made
I dont believe in trading in cars like a '00 S500 w/ 33K for 21K Id just rather keep it so now along wiht my '07 S550 and '04 SL55 I have a '94 SL500 w/ 34K miles, a '00 SL500 designo which now has 92K miles problem free( best benz ive ever owned I use it for my long trips to dallas) and my '01 S500. I will keep these cars and let them rot in my garage if I have too instead of giving them to an MB dealer so they can make 10K off of them....
I just got the SL55 bc when i got the S550 my gf forgot she had an audi A4 cab and I always got stuck with it, its an '04 w/ probably the lowest mileage you've ever seen an an '04 had it a week am so so so in love I haven't touched my ferrari since
anyway here are the pics
my lovely gf and the 550
The red '94 SL500 was my car in high school, the black one a '00 when i got to college, its sad to say but I've never not owned a mercedes Im in my early 20's now and I've never driven anything but a Mercedes SL at all times I've ahd one I think they're the greatest, they def put the 355 to shame esp the SL55

I just got the 55 about a week and a half ago, i sent Adam at Euro Elites a pm but i forgot to call him today not sure what I should do to it, but man I completely forgot about my 355 since it came it is way way way more fun I love it. The red one is a keeper just bc it was my first car and its a blast to drive I hate the rims but theyre lorinser and were on there when we bought it but there is such a huge difference with the interiors on my 94 sl500 and my 2000 designo sl500, but neither of those has ever been to dealer for anythign other than routine work....the '00 s500 thats a whole different story what a nightmare of car I cant even count out all the problems i've had with it but its low low miles and when I got my S550 last august they offered my 21K for it i passed and just kept it

Your 1st car was a red SL500?
Mine was a '74 Mercury Comet whose reverse didnt work 50% of the time
I guess I had the wrong parents

it wasnt brand new the car was a '94 it was originally my moms but she didnt like the SL so my dad bought her an S500, it really wasn't out of the norm at my high school....and my dad never drove a nice car to work bc he always did a ton of driving so we weren't really different from any normal family in our area 2 -3 nice cars difference was they were mom and son as opposed to mom and dad just bc of the nature of dads driving habits to and from his businesses....otherwise yes i probably would have got some 20-30k car i just relaly really lucked out

i do work in the fmaily business we own alot of gas stations aorund houston and yes even with gas prices rising business has never been better so all the people complaining about high prices it has yet to reflect on us, but we are still making the same price per gallon as before but sales wise its been unreal the last few months
