Feeling the love, amigos!!!
I am also very interested to see what effect the air intake and headers have without the ECU mod...I will post the results when I get them in a couple of weeks!
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT: One of our fellow SL55 owners and valued Forum Members, Charles Pearson, received his orders this morning to deploy back to Iraq in Feb. This Ranger has survived two ambushes already in both Iraq and Afghanistan - he deserves our praise, thanks and most importantly PRAYERS for a safe return to his family and to our Forum. Chuck, a HUGE THANK YOU from all of us in Canada to you and the troops that keep all of us safe and sound.
God speed and get home safely.

Hey champ, these guys warm up slowly, but I think you've got them eating out of your hand.
One thing I love about this forum, CANDOR. No sugar coating allowed. By the way, I have an STP sticker I will let you have. I think it would look great next to the Wolverine claw thingy.
Charles, be safe my friend. Thank you for keeping us safe.

Fluffy Dice...carbon fiber with spots...man oh man, I can't wait to get the wife an SL55 so I can really do it up right! With all of these great suggestions, I am sure that you will support one that I customize for my wife...even considering a huge Tide logo on the hood to match the STP sticker on the doors!

Thanks to all for your genuine concern in the up and coming deployment, however it is not slated to happen until Feb of 2011. Until than I will hold it down in the good ole "US of A" and again thank you all for your thoughts and concerns. By the way, I will no longer be doing the hard core secret squirrel stuff, I am a Support Operations Officer (SPO) now ;-)
By the way, I am NO HERO! All of the Hero's paid the ultimate sacrifice in World War I,II,Vietnam, Grenada, Mogadishu,Desert Storm, Kosovo, and current day Afghanistan and Iraq. There are many, many people like me out there, you just don't see or hear from them too much. Remember Pointe Du Hoc on Omaha Beach June 6 1944, D-Day, that's were the Ranger legacy starts (Williams,2000). Some of you may know that the Ranger's led the way up through the vigorous mountainous terrain, hence the term "Ranger's Lead The Way! Retrieved June 22, 2010 from: http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com...inteduhoc.aspx

I wish you the best Charles. Be safe and may " The forces of the universe" (I don't believe in God ) Protect you.
And personally,Yeah, I do consider you as a hero, because I don't have the Quarter of the half of the testicules to Go to war.

Good lord! How am I just now seeing this?
I'll be right back, my lunch is making an emergency exit out of the front of my face.

But I would agree, this thread is not about me so please stop flattering me with all of your kind soft hearted gestures LOL, your making me feel like a Rock Star for crying out loud and I haven't even squeezed the trigger for years. Never pull the trigger you may miss, always squeeze the trigger and control your breathing men. It's called the 8 fundimentals of close quarters marksmenship (CQM): 1-Stance
2- Grip
3- Breathing
4- Sight alignment
5- Sight picture
6- Trigger squeeze
7- Follow through
8- Recovery
Is that leading the way Bro?

Benz-O-Rama, that SL of yours is a beast, looking real nice bro. That's the SL600 isn't it? I love the wheels.

Hmm ... not what I had in mind, but informative.
Lets try this, "Rory, WTF Bro? It's like your Mercedes had sex with an Impala while smoking crack, and gave birth to that monstrosity you call an SL55 AMG."
Yes, I'm done now. Thank you and have a nice day

Back in Black! Need a front right strut!
Poker Emporer...love the reply! Very creative! Been travelling extensively and am finally enjoying my 2003 SL55 again! Haven't logged on in a while...I do need a right front strut, however, and am looking for a better price than $1,400 if anyone knows where to get one I would appreciate the help! Cheers! Rory

Thanks for the reply. I found a company that does refurbished SL55 original struts for $750 including shipping. They have a 1 year warranty and supply many Florida Mercedes mechanics.
