Saw a MacLaren today
http://www.mbusa.com/microsite/slr/index.jsp
I went to the local dealer to buy some odds and ends and they had one in the showroom. OMG. That is one heart-stopping machine. I was talking to a guy who was negotiating for a new S-Class as I waited for the parts babe to come get me and he wonder aloud to the salesman whether they'd have it (the MacLaren) cleaned-up for sale as he'd like to buy it and they both laughed. There was no sticker on it as it was already sold(!). Parts babe said it was about $500K. Look, I don't see cars like that around here, okay? I live in a town where a tricked Mustang makes people all wet. |

Top Gear this past weekend did a cool show where they drove one from London to Finland - 1,400 miles or so - great car. There is one that I see buzzing around my neighborhood. They look even better on the road than in the showroom.

How long would it take for the insurance payment on that car to buy a new CDI?
Have to agree though, it really is something else. |

I know that it is a beautiful car.
However, nice cars are the norm around my home. I have ridden in an SLR, and I must say that they are the MOST impressive vehicle I have ridden in. It blew my mind the level of luxury that they were albe to put into a supercar. Actually, I have a client with one. It costs him just about $2400 a year to insure it. And he can only drive it 3000 miles a year. It looks beautiful parked next to his SL600.

I believe on Top Gear that it can burn all of its fuel in 22 minutes. That sounds so painful and yet amazing at the same time!

I saw one of those in Scottsdale, AZ. the other day. I rubbed out the door ding I left with a little spit on my finger. They'll prolly never notice it.
I'm only teasing. I did see one in Scottsdale, though. |
