Mercedes SLR...

Today at work (I sell Mercedes) we received an SLR... what a cool car. Anyone in the market for a $455,000.00 (plus another 50k) car? The killer is I can't drive the thing, won't even let me sit in it. To the GM this car is nothing more than a pain in the ass...I just don't understand, it really is a beautiful car but I can't see spending a half a million on anything but a house.

scratch and sniff it all over , take photos , enjoy it because the production has ended. The deal is over.

Might be the last time you see it in person.

I enjoyed many miles tuning and servicing 300SL and 300Roadsters way back when. What a treat to feel, hear, and Smell the power from the old big 6 cyl. Gullwing.

Seeing a machine like the SLR is a golden moment- you may not be able to drive it - but maybe some will take you for a ride if you pester nicely

i got the chance to sit in and check out an alpina Z8. it was pretty sweet. only around 550 made.

but none of them are an 02, and we all get to see one of those every day. a much better deal, i think.

my piece of Z8 Alpina history !

what a thrill to be the first one to loosen up the new gearbox, feel the suspension soften in the first 15 miles during a new car prep roadtest. What a car !all aluminum uni-body - soaks up all the road harshness like a pair of 'advanced' downhill ski's in the old days whan wood was phased out to aluminum and glass fiber came into production.......

I'd have no Drivers Licence !!

Car Kraazy !

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
