SL55 AMG
Can't say I'm a huge Porsche fan. Used to have a 911 but I think the endless re-hashes of a 40 year old design are tedious. Wouldn't it be nice if Porsche came out with a brand new car and dumped the 911 look? Butzi might throw his toys out of the pram but never mind. On second thoughts, if the Cayenne is the best they can do, perhaps they're better off staying where they are.

SL55 is a car that offers many faces, luxury cruiser with every electronic measure and safety device offered. Super car performance and styling. Open air ragtop with no hassles. I could go on but u get the picture and in some cases u have the picture. This car is great and the best thing about it is that u can use it as a every day car not like some other high end cars such as a Ferrari were u cant really use eneough to enjoy. 60 days and counting for me, Brillant Silver, Charcoal, multi spoke, loaded except for distronic.

I have not driven the GT2, but have had a Carrera 3.2 since 1984. Nearly 300,000 Km troublefree (barring a few 360s on wet roads). And a 512BBI, also since '84, But I've gone for the Merc because I believe it's in a league of it's own. A refreshing, leading-edge design, not compromised by the anachronistic outrigger engine and gearbox.
As I've mentioned before, my 2000 W220 S-500 has given me quite a bit of uphill regarding intermittent electronic problems, as well as a failed pneumatic suspension pump, and I sure hope this won't be the case with the R230. The 911/993/996 design, for all its faults, is an extremely well-built and reliable car.
My tuppence!

It was only once at county jail, I spend about 26 hours there because I forgot to pay a trafic ticket. It was a lot of fun after all.
Hit the showers, wear those very nice orange outfits, got harrased by a huge black dude that wanted my lunch (didn't give it to him, but I sure was scared he was going to eat me alive), looked at a couple of gheys make arrangement for when they went upstair (I guess to the real jail, because we were all on a huge cage waiting out room, haha)
