Misses out on 10 years
Picked up my 600 in 2015 and has never failed to rise to my expectations. Not out looking for competition, but some knuckleheads with other European makes that think there is an opportunity to press V12 juice, they sure are sorely mistaken. Have dropped 17K into system related issues, but nothing with my baby V12. I do indulge this Master Blaster of a powerplant with no Ethanol gas available in Texas. Also gotta make sure your sweetness is garage housed. Despite ancillary cost of non engine related expenses, having a NASA rocket on four wheels should blow any car buff’s skirt or shorts up, absolutely no disappointment here.

Sweet
This is a sweet drive. It is definitely a drifter. Hitting the pedal while turning will cause fishtailing as it it too powerful. Sometimes it feels like driving a bar of butter on a hot-plate. .. Backend is unruly until traction control kicks in (a second or 2). Otherwise, awsome car.

Fun in the sun.
Benz SL 500
A very heavy German car. What is not to like about that?
SL 500
Truely great and stylish car! I would reccomend it to anyone looking in the $80,000 plus range. I owned a Jaguar XK8 before my SL and after having driven both I can say that the Mercedes is clearly better.
