Part of the badge fell apart. I guess glue becomes unstable at 130mph.
Just outside of Pittsburgh. I'm at the home stretch. Only another four hours. Thanks for following along with me.

Keep it V2, says much more about the car than V12 !
That '1' came off for a reason, uno !
What's that thing on the right on your breakfast ? I saw it moving !
Should'nt breakfast look like this ?

Just tell people it's a 2 cylinder engine under the hood and if they ask why your hood is huge if the engine is so small tell them MB needed the space to put a seperate AC and heat units for your heated/ventilated seats and a chiropractic unit to power the massage and pulse function of the seats.

Should have made a 2 hour detour up to my place and I would have taken you to the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven, MI where the Midwest's and West Michigan's hottest jailbait all come to party and get drunk.

Anyway, got her home safe and sound and she's asleep in the garage from the exhausting trip. Took 12 clock hours with pee breaks and stuff, but this car performed magnificently. I don't have a well enough command of the English language to summon the proper adjectives needed to describe this car. For those that have never experienced top-down, twin turbo V12 nirvana, please try to. It's unreal.
Here's the gauge cluster stats. Averaging 68mph with stops isn't bad at all. There were more than a few high speed miles, that's for sure.

[QUOTE=Benz-O-Rama;3635898]After many weeks of searching and internal fights about whether or not I should go with an SL55 or SL600, I finally pulled the trigger on this beauty. 2005 SL600/AMG package with 12K miles and a warranty until 10/2013 or 82K total miles. Previous owner was an older fellah who's put a grand total of 2500 miles on it since he paid 90K for it in 2007. I'm trying to fly out to Chicago to pick it up this weekend. Here she is:
Congratulations, and enjoy!!!
