SL65 Sighting in Vancouver, BC
On 4th Street... Before a Safeway. It was about 1:00 pm?? Silver, black leather... Definitely a 65 (or 55 posing)...
Again, this was in Vancouver, BC and it looked AMAZING! Little did you know, there was a green Lambo Murci about 2 blocks ahead of you!!

Just letting you know... My second viewing (the first is a friend's, though, haha).

And do you know that car is driven by an university student to school everyday?

There is another black one in town, and another black CL65 too.

There are about a dozen of each (CL65 and SL65) If you want to see one just go to the richmond dealer... They have a SL65 parked in the showroom right now.

so what do you guys think SFU or UBC students, and If I was a prof and seeing that my students are driving the SL65's, I'd quit.

There are tons of rich Chinese kids (or kids with rich parents) in vancouver....Every friday night, you can see all types of nice cars in richmond and downtown..... E500 or CLK500,M3 or 745I,545I,C2 are like nothing nowadays!! If you want specialty, you gotta have at least E55 or C4S..... My neighbour who is a crazy AMG lover bought 5 AMGs from MB richmond in one month!! One million CAD= SL55, CL55, E55, CLK55 Cab, G55....
