Question

Not sure I understand your comment. Are you saying you don't like the car?

Actually I like the car just fine...The car is not an SL55 but an SL500 with a 55 badge and a sport package.

So its more like...i dont like the previous owner much for being a moron.

You can blame the Auto Toy Store

They are the one's who are responsible for "falsifying" the car. They order a car from a MB dealer, slap on discounted rims and sell the car for way too much over list. They use the rims as justification for a premium. The ad that this car is in does not say SL55, it just says SL500 Sport. Some people are not educated enough to know the tiny diferences between MB's.

What's the point in advertising your car as being the best, when it truely isn't? Do they feel better with others believing they have a nicer car, or something? Grrr I hate posers. In a smaller level, since I do not own any SL, I hate C280's with AMG rims and an AMG badge, driving around like they own this place. Wannabe's.
