I know this is a great car, but don't you think he should have waited to do that at home?

Mercedes all the way!
can i get one too? pretty please?
there's actually an SLR sitting in my friend's showroom - but the roads here are such that there's really no point buying it.
oh, and the fact that it costs upwards of US$1 million sticker here doesn't help as well... :p
the guy has obviously been driving his SLR hard - look at the tyre wear!

Well, I didn't have any of them, but since your my internet friend, I'll go ahead and give you some.. how about 3 bows.. or do you require at least 3 for having both IHRA and SCCA?

ok
Here's what I say... how that guy made his money, or how he paid for that car is neither here or there... the fact his, he's driving an $466,000 SLR, and we're not!
I hope he doesn't get himself killed in that beast!

So are her *cupholders* OEM or 'aftermarket'?? 
TJC
In either case ... this is obviously a model for the American market. In Europe you genrally see a lot less shaving and much smaller cupholders.
