Cool Slr

Yesterday I drove a Mercedes Benz SLR. That was the fastest car I have ever driven. The doors are awesome. The one I drove was black, it was like driving your own personal rocket. Unfortunately I did not have enough road space to go over a 100mph. But from 0 to 70 was so fast it would turn your stomach. Well I may never own one, but I got to drive one.

I took a few pics of one at the Lake Mirror show a couple months ago. Didn't realize anyone was interested. Will try to get them for you tomorrow.
