true, true....so true...most all DOT vehicles are after all defined as 'passenger duty' type of cars vs. off road use only types ie. pro competition/ track/ ralley/ race cars

I've had several occasions in the past few years to speak to the Fact Author Bently/ Rolls dealer (Sales Manager) and he's even opined that these brands' prestige/image has slipped (along with Porsche)...

btw- he drives a '93 500e and continues to love it to death over the fleet of Fact Author MBs Sales Fleet, BMWs, Audis, Porsches, etc. ...hmm, now that's interesting! (personal preference for ya)

best regards

PS- What's there not to like about any SL? It's an SL.
