    It would have definitly been cheaper to just change the "5" to a "6" ( probably $6 instead of the $140.000)

    Are you married? If so does she knows wbout cars? I'm mentionning it because if she does not, she's going to wonder where the 140K went. As you said, you can barely see the difference.

    Mike, Congrats on your new car! I love the rims. Are they paint in body color?



    HA!!!
    i think mercedes would charge you a hell of a lot more than $6 for the "6" badge



    lol!! you think if i had a wife she'd let me blow that money on a car?!

    i agree as well sdy248!!

    Re: One very happy man ;)

    Sorry, but I don't get it. I've driven 4000km in SA and to trade in an SL55 for an SL65 doesn't make any sense to me the roads are just too bad, you will never be able to feel the difference. This is just burning money...

    But anyway congrats.... I guess...

    Well, at least the guy in the Porsche was unable to accelerate properly. Otherwise, the Porsche would not have been slower...

    Congrats Mike!
    Real hot rod you got yourself here! Very exclusive!
    IMHO a pretty good alternative to an SLR!
    I've been told the only thing that is disapointing compared to the SL55 is the noise that is not as nice, looking forward to your impressions in general!
