Exclamation My future 5.5 SL
This car is the German edition 5.5...It was bought by a pro football player who live up the street from me...We are good friends and he is giving the car to me for a price you couldn't imagine...I posted these pictures up a while back and some people claimed them as theirs, some people emailed me and told me what people had done...Anyways, i hope you enjoy my new car...ShyneSL

To my understanding, this car is governed @ the german speed probably around 186mph and the U.S. editions are governed at 155mph or something...The car's speedometer is in Km/h and it registers 300km/h...The crowning process makes this car truely special to me and I don't want to see anyone else driving it...ShyneSL
