Your car looks great.
Congratulations on your new SLK55.
I had my new SLK55 also out over the weekend for 200 mile drive.
So far, no problems - except that I have to work today and don't get to drive it all over the place.

Falco, I had a similar experience. Went into Keyes European to get some information on the SLKs and drove home in my 55 that evening. No sales resistance. Mine is Orion blue.

Nice! I actually have yet to see another SLK55 and i have been looking for one on the road for over a month now!!! Would be great to have anothe in the area!!!

I usually get coffee at VCR(Village Coffee Roaster) on Valley Circle and the 101. Malibu is for Duke's(going today!), Moonshadows, Allegria, etc.!!!

There was ALOT of traffic on the 101 and 405 when I left this am so, again, I found myself on the 1 at Starbuck's. I'll keep Village Roaster in mind next time I take the 101
