Leaving tonight, going to pick up my 2004 black sl55!!

got an appointment at a local MB dealership to do an inspection before i sign the paperwork, carfax checks out good, MB dealership which has done all services says its good but i figured the 21 point inspection is worth my time and money!

its going to be a 600 mile journey back to the house but should be a hell of a fun drive!!

hope to be posting some pics here soon!

One of my favorite things to do is to buy a car across the country and drive home. I have done it with a Testarossa, Mondial t, an F40, Lotus Esprit, and an M5. All were great fun and the memories are still fresh.

Have fun and be safe!

Mine was a good bit shorter, but I drove from Ft. Lauderdale back to South Carolina with mine.
