I envy you guys.

How's it going guys?

I envy you guys and your SL55's. I'm just your typical college student. On the way home yesterday, I was stuck in traffic behind the most beautiful car ever to grace the road. It was an SL55. The silver paint on the car was spotless. It was a really clean car and looking into those smoked lights just captivated me.

Just last week, I saw a black SL55 just tearing away at the freeway on the road down to Santa Cruz. I was amazed at the sheer amount of power from that machine.

I've seen my share of exotic vehicles on the road, 360 Spiders, Diablos, Porsche Turbos, GT2s, etc. But by far, the SL series are my favorite. SL500's are still sweet, but I see them more often now, but a SL55 is a rarity.

For now, I'll just continue driving my Integra and admire the scenery. Maybe someday I'll own an AMG machine.

Nice to hear positive comments from drivers who don't own a Mercedes (yet!). Take care, stay in school, stay away from drugs and you should be able to fulfill all your dreams.
