Ok I'll bite. What's a Black Series? Why would it cost twice as much as a standard sl65 or whatever badge Chrysler puts on these things? Why is that picture a Silver one? Wouldn't that be a Silver Series?

 

Sarcasm fits you well, Mark.

 

Actually really asking. I don't know anything about Mercedes. Is it a different engine? Why is it Silver? Why would someone spend 300k for one if they can get the same thing for 150k new?

 

It's MB's RSR or Scud. 500lbs lighter, fixed roof...basically everything is upgraded. Expect, according to AutoWeek the brakes. They said the brakes are the same as the SL65 and after two hot laps at Laguna they were overheating and very soft. They also didnt like the paddle shifters, no feel for engage or disengage. For $320K, I would expect a car with the best brakes available, STOCK and a well sorted tranny. But since I don't have $300k to spend on a car, my opinion is useless =)

 

A good thing about the SL65 BS is that it will depreciate like the regular Sl65.
Mercedes SLR was a complete marketing failure, and a travesty when I drove it last fall . Can't wait to see it depreciates under $100K in 2 yrs.

 

You can spend $300,000+ on a Mercedes or buy several ! For everyday, get a E63 AMG, a lot of power and fun to drive. For the winter, drive the G55 AMG, and for the summer, SL550 ! And for people who lives in the state of Oregon, consider a C-class a bonus because of the tax saving ! All the cars above I mentioned is brand new, if you wish to buy used, half the money should do it !

 

Spotted Greta about 40 minutes ago on I-405. I was behind you in an F-150 until around Factoria, then passed you. Car looks great as always!

 

^^^ that is funny because it's only the 3rd time I have broke out of my office for a lunch! I work at T-Mobile there if you didn't know. Give a honk next time! (car is dirty already, but thanks!). Hard to sneak around in my car

 

ok I'll ask again. we got free coffee at sbux. where are our free phones and minutes?

 

Seriously... I have been a T-Mobile customer for 6 years!

 

I was working on a job at the Mccormick and Schmicks on Lake union, and I was carrying tools from the truck and a F430 coupe(red) came ripping by about 2 weeks ago. I did not get a very good look, or else i'd be a little more detailed ha.

Might I add that you Seattle residents are lucky, I absolutly love it up there.

 

^^^Add me to your "my faves" and you can call or sms me for free anytime you wish mark

Trivia for you: T-Mobile customers sent over 6 million text messages on New Years Day! company record.

 

does that mean every t mobile customer sent 4 texts?

 

Ouch haha

Not helping your rep pts mark!

My wife has t mobile and has no complaints except a few things from the past but that was all before greta became the czar. Since then they've been on the ball

 

T-Mobile needs to release an update for my G1 and i'll be a happy camper.
