I love seeing little 1200 sqft homes that go for $1.1 million (built in the 50's too!). Something about that seems wrong. But I have never seen a SL65 sitting infront of one of those homes! Last one I saw had a S70 T5 and a ML500 in its drive.

Agreed, you definitely dont see SL65's in front of those types of homes...on the flip side I can show you multiple 15K sqft homes with those same s70's and ML500's

Very true!

And as much as I love 516 ft/lb of tq I would take the home over the car (not that they are in the same price class by any means). Or in an ideal world you get the 15k sqft home with a nice 6-10 car garage with many toys.
