2013 C350 Coupe daily, the 2011 SL550 is the Weekend Warrior
New Weekend Warrior (new to me) is in the house!

I've been a Corvette guy for the past 25 years and one day when I was in the MB dealer servicing my daily driver (C350 Coupe), my salesman tosses me a set of keys and says, "take this for a spin"


6 weeks later after selling my C5, there's a 2011 SL550 in the garage


Just LOVE this car...grace, elegance and enough power to make one smile


Cheers...looking forward to this Forum

Not much of a warrior... More of a POG

It sure is beautiful though, best of luck with it!
