The SLR is very unique, the side exhaust/supercharger combination give it character all of its own.
To those who think it is irrelevant compared to a SL55/65 need to drive and compare.
Its party piece is its driveability on the limit on track where it is very neutral.
But then I am biased

i think he said he does not like big houses..anyway i can not believe you have over a million dollars in cars..what are you going to do when they replace the body styles every few years...that is a lot of cars to manage...it would drive me nuts...but the lime green murcielago has been my favorite car for a long time...very nice

If you read the whole thread, you will see that Mag manages property and drilling operations. Obviously, he has more than one property that he owns.
So maybe this house that you don't like is just one of them, where it's convenient to bring the cars over and take pictures?

none
I wasn't trying to be mean, I was just surprised that he didn't have a nicer/ bigger home. I hadn't read the whole thread so I didn't see that he preferred smaller homes. It's just that the people I know that have money have bigger/ nicer homes. But what ever, to each his own.

You guys will love this story!
Back in 1998, I bought Eddie (Jr.) DeBartolo's house in Canfield, Ohio. Eddie was the owner of the San Francisco 49ers Football team until he got into some legal trouble and had to divest himself of the team. His sister and her husband took over the team.
Absolutely beautiful house. 21,000 sq. ft.! 8 garages. 4 steam heated (kept the air humid for his Rolls and Ferrari I was told) and 4 Resnor heated. Rooms and more rooms everywhere and a tennis court. Bordered a Country Club.
I lived there 1 month (with my ex - we tried to make it work again..... didn't work out)! One day, one of my 4 dogs passed away. I felt it was a kind of omen to get out of there so we moved back to our previous home (4500 sq. ft.). We were a lot happier!
It was kind of a humorous incident in the community circle about how the guy who bought the 'DeBartlo' house moved out because one of his dogs passed away. Unless you know me personally, people wouldn't understand my love for animals.
I now live in another house down the street from the house we moved back to. My girlfriend and I share our 45 acres in our 4300 sq. ft. home with Deer, Wild Turkeys, Raccoons, Mallard ducks, Wood ducks, Opossum, Red Foxes, I think I have a digital picture of a Coyote, Blue Heron, Gound Hogs and I even had a Black Bear Cub
(2001) who got lost and wound up in my backyard 50 ft. away from me (have video to prove it)!Big houses are fine if you into that..... I'm not and really didn't know until I tried it. It wasn't a good idea for me. Took me 2 years to sell it by the way!
I love the land I now live on and walking it with my 5 dogs and not having neighbors crawling up my butt!
I'd rather spend my money on cars and own a smaller cozier home to live in. Magwheel

Mag,
Ever consider a Koenigsegg CCR or CCX? They can do a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds!

Magwheel, do you have any pictures on your 2007 porsche turbo? My father is interested in getting one, but probably tiptronic. What is yours? How do you like it?

Agreed on the house thing. We have the money to get a VERY nice house and even a second house along with some exotics like you have. While thatd be great and all, we love our house. We have an average sized house. Three stories, regular two car garage, 5 bedrooms, a decent amount of land, etc. We've had this house since a few months before I was born (over 18 years). We thought about selling it for a bigger house, but no, we love it. We're not getting rid of it. Too many people make stupid comments about a house not being a mcmansion. Sure thats great, but not everyone is a nouveau riche` showoff.
Props as always Mag.

I wasn't a full fledged 'Hippie' but just kinda a halfway... half-*** 'Hippie'. You know.. the clothes, the hair, the hangouts, the talk and I even smoked some marijuana for a whole 3 or 4 months back in the Fall of 1970.I just thought the license plate would bring back some memories for people my age and would hopefully have them and other people laughing with me remembering the past! the Mags

hello magwheel, i see that none of your rides have front plates...
i mean i don't blame you. do you get pulled over a lot? and maybe show your license and registration with a folded c-note?
