Smile Took a SLR for a test ride!

Our local MB dealership has a SLR in stock which surprised me since we're kinda in a small town. They were very nice in allowing me to take it for a test ride even though I told them my interest in the car was not that high. But, that didn't stop them from insisting I take it on the road.

Since then, they've called and said they're willing to deal a little but damn it's a lot of money for a GT touring car! Still don't know if I like the rear end styling of the car. Absolutely beautiful build work and it had the super-soft (?) leather interior for an extra 9.5-10K. Michael

Wink Pics of my cars?

Is this what you're requesting? I've gone through this before and I'm more than happy to provide any verification you need. JabbasWorld really initially jumped on my case as to whether or not I was a fake or whatever. You're more than happy to check the web site link out. I've done reviews of all the cars for them and have 17,000 plus hits in a little over one month. Michael Here's the web link: http://www.jabbasworld.net/viewtopic...er=asc&start=0

I know of them both but I don't know them personally. I'm up here in Poland.... a suburb of Youngstown.

Nice line up. I have seen your stuff on Lpower! So what did you think of the SLR? It would be a nice addition and it doesn't look like money is too much of an issue!

very nice choices! when you make time to drive, do you put equal miles on them? how do you decide which to pick up the keys to? do you have a sedan for more people, or are these just the exotics?

the pics are very cool btw!

i am going to add another hit to your site.

Do a search on Clay J and you'll know what I mean , but just a Reader's Digest version;
he claimed to own many exotic and expensive cars yet he never produced a picture of any one of them.
If you do have some time to waste or get entertained do a search I recomend the threads that were closed by the mods.

Those are only sports cars,,,,

Where's the Rest of your Disease, I mean Collection, i'm sure being from Ohio myself you see your share of Winter so you have to have a array of 4WD vehicles at your disposal just the same... Life is good with Choices,,, and i mean Off Road or Sport Utility,,, not the AWD Lamborgini.

Very Nice,, i also myself really like the Carrera GT, going to build Bigger to accompany any more additions to the stable..

Enjoy life to the fullest..
