Good bye GL, Hello SL

[NevadaJack]

Wow Jack, it looks great. Congrats!!! Pre or post facelift the SL is Mercedes' best car.

Thanks... this is my 4th SL. I loved the D's, the E's, the S's and GL, but the SL is my favorite MB.

Re: Congrats Jack

Oh...LOL. I asked him about a SL or CL years ago and he told me no and look what he went and did. He'll get a CL in 2 years tops.

3 More ...all HDR with Photomatix

The blue tinge on the car is due to the black paint acting like a mirror with the intense blue sky.

Congratulations Jack, love your car mate, it looks sensational . Does the car still turn heads on the street? How often do you drive with the roof down?

Thanks Monster...

Yes, it still turns heads. The black when clean and the really bright sun here makes it a standout. Mercedes are pretty common in this area but even with that the SL is a looker.

I have only had the SL for 10 days but early morning and evenings are great with the top down. When October gets here then it will be as often as you want to driver with the top down through the following May or so. The summer days here are brutal sun-wise.
