Mercedes SLR

[M3Rider]

The only SLR in North America is HERE IN NEW YORK RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE I LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ralley Motors of Roslyn got it for 2.1 mil. The owner bought it in respect to her husband who passed away. I'm gonna go see it on sunday, I'm gonna take some snapshots with my digital camera, so i'll post them soon.......

You sure its the only one? Jay Leno was number 1 on the list so im sure theres one in LA.

idk maybe, I think its the first one to be in a dealership, but I don't care, I'm gonna go see it tomorrow

[RetroSpek]

I dont like it!!! For the price its not that graet AT ALL!!! And it just doesnt do it for me what so ever!!! Even if I was Bill Gates, I wouldnt spend my money on that POS(imho)!!

[M3Rider]

Today's the day, I'm gonna leave soon. I'll post pictures as soon as I get back B)

Bad news, dealer was closed. As a matter of fact, its never even open on sundays...not a happy day for me

Maz - how can you call it a POS when youve never seen it, been in it, driven it, or even know much about it?

I said I think it is a POS cuz I have read many articles on it and seen it in video's etc etc!! I wanted to like it also, I tried to but I just couldnt get myself to like it!!

Does it have an automatic transmission?

[Maz]

yes it does

[woobiee]

when the pre-production photos were out...i loved it.

when production started..and seeing it drive, i dont like it anymore. the engine sound is funky...like a truck almost. THe only thing i REALLY hate is the side gills, they are wayyyy too big.
