Talking I'm in another SL

After 6 years absence behind the wheel of my last SL. This will be my 3rd one in black of the same generation and second 65.

It's a very late 2008 model with a few thousand miles on the odometer. I still can't get myself to like the current version. It's headlights and side grills look too kit-car-ish for me.

The previous generation has a more timeless look to it. I'll pick her up this weekend, post pics when I can. This one as the updated interior and exhaust tips. Looking forward to it

Great pick up Mike. The SL is probably the only Benz I would buy. Enjoy it

Congrats mike!, I'm sure Mo will chime in with some great mods for the 65.

Nice Mike! I love those SL's... they have such presence.

What color did you go with?

Whoa. Mike. Did you go back in time?

2004 was a good year though.

That flux capacitor can be a maintenance nightmare.
