No words to describe how awesome the SL65 looks... even from behind a computer monitor. I have yet to see it in real life. Thanks for sharing.

Funny fact...he does live in a one car garage townhouse (its not cheap, and VERY nice inside...its a stones throw from the Potomac River in a prestigious area, but it is indeed a town house)...but in his garage he keeps a Maserati Coupe 
....AMG sacrilege

That's a beautiful ride. I saw a white SL 65 in Tokyo about 1 1/2 months ago, but I didn't have a camera on me, unfortunately. It was in Roppongi next to a lot of other high class mercs. Very beautiful.

I wonder how he got away without mounting the front license plate on the car? I doubt any cops will pull him over for that alone but they might try to add it on for something else........
You seem to be getting lucky in southern MD with all those AMG 65 cars.......

Why you would like in a town house and have 280k in cars is beyond me. Put that into something that will go up in value not down through the floor! SL65's will fall in value faster than a stone off a bridge. Wait a year to two and they will be equal to SL55's and those wont be that strong either.
New chassis come out and the old fall in value. It is the way of modern cars. No car will ever hold its value. Unless its truely a 1 or 2 off version with no miles. SL65 are just mass produced cars really.
