A moment of rememberence for the sl, she is gone

off to be enjoyed by her new master, i am lucky to have owned her this last year and she will truly be missed.

before...



AFTER









THE PART IM MOST PROUD OF, WHEN I BOUGHT MY WHEELS, I CALLED MY BOY AT ISS, THOSE WHEELS WERE DISCONTINUED,, NOT EVEN IN THE NEW CATALOG THEY WERE PRINTING, SINCE I GOT MINE, HE HAS SOLD DOZENS OF SETS FOR SL'S MOSTLY FROM BOARDS AND THE NET, AND A BUNCH FOR OTHER CARS.

I GOT A LOT OF **** FOR BUYING A RED CAR FROM MY FRIENDS, BUT I HAD A VISION, AND I KNEW IT WOULD BE BAD *** WHEN IT WAS DONE, AND A LOT OF THEM CHANGED THEIR MINDS.

IM GONNA MISS HER FOR SURE, BUT IT WAS JUST TIME.

I was on the Classifieds forum about 10 minutes ago wondering if you sold it yet... Congratulations. I've said it before, this is one of the nicest SL's I've ever seen. You really did a great job and I hope she's off to a good home.

ITS FUNNY, I WANTED WHITE, I REALLY DID, BUT WHEN I SAW THE RED, I SAW THE FINISHED PRODUCT IN MY MIND, AND I HAD TO HAVE IT.

I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO DO A WHITE ONE, I HAVE SOME IDEAS.

I SEE A SL63 IN WHITE IN MY FUTURE AT SOME POINT

****, sorry for caps.

I bought those wheels from Tony at ISS after seeing yours! Thanks! Hopefully you will have another "project" soon.

Well bro I'm glad you got what you were asking for and didn't have to settle for a lowball amount. Hopefully we'll see that red beast around here on the forums again. Looking forward to your next vision!

Haha if I find the SL55 I'm looking for, I'll probably be looking for a set myself. Hopefully they aren't discontinued again.

SL55 AMG
So what are you getting into next GFEAR? The pic you posted of the car in motion, side shot is epic! Probably one of my top 3 shots of the SL55 of all time. You should send that into a magazine to get it published, it's that good!

Thanks for the inspiration, GFEAR!

I've had three obsidianblack SL600 in a row.
And my latest buy (SL65) was also in black.

BUT, since I saw your picture (the one taken from the left side, when rolling), I made up my mind;
I must try READ! So I did!
But with foil or tape (or what you call it)!
It turned out great, and I am sooo pleased!
Check out my album!

Thanks a bunch!
And good luck with your next buy, whatever you decide..!
