Looks awesome... How do you even get 200' down the road without getting pulled over for "exhibition of speed" ...? It looks like it's going 125 just sitting still...

vizionclk430 - Shots and car look awesome. what speed is the car going when you have the rig connected to the hood and trunk for the turning shots?
Only between 5-10mph...I just left off the brake and let the car just roll...

320 dreamer - your car is truly a beautiful machine!! can i make a small suggestion? a thin red pinstripe on the edge of the rims would really pop!!
I thought of it for a second, but I came to the realization that it just wasn't me...I just thought that the red calipers and the remaining red tail lights were just enough contrast to not make the car too black...less darth vader and more darth maul...

I thought my E55 looked fast sitting still but the SL65 is level above it in that department...the wedge shape and lower look of the SL R230 body really does give it the "vrooom look"...

That's an amazing ride dude. You could be stopped at the light next to almost any car, you'd still steal the show...

Mercedes-Benz should really use your car in some of their commercials.

Your car is absolutely the definition of immaculate, badass, stunning, etc.

beautiful car, beautiful pics. Did you hire somebody to do a photoshoot or are you a professional photographer?

I had two amateur photography students at a local university do the photo shoot...they were pretty good and the price was right.

may I ask how you got connected with them and how much you paid? You can pm me if you want to keep the info private. Did they bring some equip like lights and stuff? I wanted to hire somebody to do this too but was clueless as to how much such shoots would cost. I had a friend of a friend who may be able to get me some models too... but didn't know how much to offer for the photo part. Any info is greatly apprecieated. Thanks!
