Yeah, right. I'm not going to lay a single dent on that magnificent piece of machinery. Well this and there is no way I could get close enough to him with his 0-60 in less than 4 seconds.

Are you sure it was a SLR and not a 55 AMG?

JulesMaximus: I doubt you've seen a few of them, there's not too many of them in the world, nevermind the US.

"The SLR is available in limited numbers, in keeping with its exclusive character. During the vehicle?s seven-year lifespan, a total of 3,500 units will leave the Woking plant, which is equipped with the very latest in production technology."

Nope. Too busy gawking at the car to care less about it's driver.

We live in San Diego county which has some of the richest zip codes in the country, I don't doubt it one bit.

the nicest cars I've seen recently are a Noble M12 and AMC SC/Rambler, both on the same road within 5 minutes of each other.

My realtor just got a SLR. I've seen it in person and it's sitting outside his office just down the street from me. It's really not that impressive when you consider the price.

One of these days I intend on taking my digital camera over there and asking if I can snap a few pictures. Hopefully he'll let me drive it, just like he let me drive his Ferrari. :)
