My Golden Retriever (Sonny Crockett) is still hacked that he can't ride in the 55.....

great shots.

alx...My dog (Manny) actually has ridden in the SL65 more than my wife. The SL65 is basically our "date" car...and my "mistress".

Manny loves riding with the top down...I don't know what it is about wind in dog's faces...such a simple life...

car looks beyond fierce, cute puppy too! my pup is growing like a weed, enjoy them while they are young!!
Sleewell...Thanks...the car is coming along. There are a couple more cosmetic accents that we are working on...nothing overblown...subtle and tasteful.

Man...I love this puppy. He gets into things (several pairs of flip flops are no longer pairs ) but that's what pups are supposed to do. I just need to get new chew toys that will last more than a day...! He has actually made family time a lot more fun...our walks together have been great.

PS...Manny will be a big boy..his paws are huge.

wish you were local so we can have a photoshoot together

Car looks great along with everyone
sikhkd...I'm actually meeting with a prospective photographer on Wednesday to do a photoshoot on the SL65 and E55. I actually sent him your photoshoot thread as an example of the style of photos I like...along with some of 360 Forge pics (the company may be shady but the pics were always first rate).

Jon,

Awesome pics my friend. One little thing. I still see those stock mufflers poking out back there... I'm telling you buddy, you don't know how awesome this car is without them. Ask in the Indianapolis Meet thread about what peoples thoughts were on my car's exhaust note. One of the best mods you can do!!!

No need for mufflers on the 65/600's.
