The links in your post work, they're simply not embedded correctly. Nice garage...unfortunately it's difficult having a garage that large living in Chicago so I'm stuck on having to sell my Range Rover and SL55 and getting one car that best suits the qualities of both cars (I only have one parking spot at the new place I'm moving).

Didn't see your neighbor's Gallardo Spyder. Kind of ironic how you have all of these gas guzzlers...then you have a Camry Hybrid haha. Nonetheless...beautiful garage.

Thank you very much. And yes, I am having problems with the images showing up. But luckily you're good enough to have the links manually pasted eh?

Hold on, I'll go fix it now if I can...

I really think Toyota did a great job with that new Camery. I just bought the exact same car you have in the exact color and wheel for my mother. She loves that car.

Very nice garage

How does the M5 compare to the 55 in terms of handling/power? I know it's not really a valid comparison, just want to hear your take on it.

You mean the SL55 or S55? Either way, the M5 has better handling and weight to power distribution.

It's fast but I feel the SL55 as faster due to higher end torque.

For me, the M5 is the best handling car I have. The turns are intuitive, as if the car knows where you want it to go. Just the slightest of turns and the car just goes exactly where you point it. The track is where it truly shows its muscles. Just check out the videos in you tube where the M5 holds up quite well with well known track cars like M3CSL, NSX's and even gallardos. What other car out there could haul your kids, and groceries and also hang with the best track cars on any given track. The Sl55 for me is a cruiser/hotrod. I know Ingenere tracks his 55 but then again, how many of us have his driving credentials! Even Sabine could drive a delivery truck at nurburg ring faster than some regular joes with high end porsches. So from a regular joe, like myself, the M5 is fast but it feels more refined than the 55 in competative or aggressive driving. Instills confidence while driving scary fast around corners. Now if you want a straight line performer, looks great, sound fantastic (try full throtle in a tunnel.....only a screaming ferrari sounds better! ) and luxurious, the sl55 is your pick. Just my .02. BTW, SoSSWAT, hot collection of cars!

Has anyone done this for a 2009-2012?

I cannot find the correct switch PN as distronic is on the right side bank.
