Pulled the trigger

2014 SLS AMG GT, Alubeam, ~7,700 miles when I picked it up in Fort Lauderdale and drove the alligator alley back home. These are just a couple of the listing photos.
Ride was great, if not a bit boring on that road, one occasional rattle to sort out and if I can just get the darn seat to recline a bit more without moving me forward. Seems like there is room behind the seat...must be a trick somewhere. I will figure it out and no doubt have a bunch of questions.
The GT does not have a Comfort chassis setting. It is adjustable from sport to sport+. Ride is firm but not hard, seats are great!
I particularly love all the jet black trim on the interior and exterior.
