Dude, wheres my car...

Its HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The SL55 is FAAAAAAAAAAST!!! I picked her up today and brought her home...on the way i accidently slipped on the gas and all of a sudden it starts burining rubber!! . The car is SCARY fast compared to my 355 becuase of the massive torque available around 2,500-4000 rpm. The ferrari gets going after 5K RPM and is NOTHING compared to the SL55. I think the poor 355 is gonna have to sit in the garage for a while .

Here are some pics...not the best since its dark, i will post better pics in the day tomarrow.

BTW here were the options on it:
-DISTRONIC
-PARKTRONIC
-NAV CD COLLECTION
-KEYLESS GO
-PANO ROOF
-V60 PHONE
-BI XENON
-VENTILATED SEATS
-TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM
-MULTI SPOKE AMG RIMS

I love the LEDS on the back of the SL. They give it an intimidating look.

Must be frustrating to have an SL55 and not want to use it because of the weather...

How much heat can you stand? It should be around 90 deg F, towards the "end" of the rainy season
