What can I say?
Today I had one of the best driving experiences of my life. It all started out at my local import shop, while I was waiting to get my oil changed. I take my car in and park it, then, as soon as I get out of my car I spot it; a bright red SL 500. I start to go over and look and am eventually so drawn to it that I have to open the door. Well, one thing led to another and eventually I'm sitting in it. Out of the corner of my eye I spot one of the salesmen coming out; all I was thinking of was, uh oh he is going to tell me to get out of his car. However all he does is calmly say, "sir, hello sir, I can put you in that car today if you'd like." Haha that was a laugh but I kept a straight face and ask him for how much. Well he says the car is $65,000 and it's a 1999, with 12,000 miles. Then the craziest thing happened, he asked me if I'd like to drive it. I couldn't pass this up. Well we take it out and he tells me to see what it can do and boy was I amazed. The SL 500 is one of the nicest cars ever made. The man did become somewhat alarmed when he learned I was only 17 and had no way of buying the car unless my dad would buy it for me but he didn't seem to care all that much. I think he enjoyed riding in it as much as I did driving. Anyone who has one of those cars is very, very lucky.
