Default SLR McLaren at my local Mercedes dealership...

Been waiting a couple months for it to come in (roommate's dad works at the dealership so I knew about it) and I finally got word that it came in yesterday. They put it in the showroom today so I had to get over there and check it out, I was like a little kid on Christmas morning when I was driving up there. Fortuantely the dealer is like 3 mintues down the road from me so it wasn't the longest ride of my life or anything.

My first thought was, damn, it looks a lot better in person, and smaller. I was never a fan of it from pictures but I can really appreciate it after seeing it up close. It looked pretty bulky in pictures but I'd say it was barely longer than an SL55. Everything on it is gorgeous though, it's definately a site to see. Enjoy the pictures! (My favorite is at the very bottom)







sorry, this interior shot came out blurry. You can't really tell but the seats are all carbon fiber with the leather pieces on top of it. They showed just enough CF around the whole seat, looked really cool.





sweet ***, huh?



no, I didn't photoshop the lense flare









you better believe I snagged the last SLR booklets. I kept this one and gave the other one to my little bro.



Here's my favorite shot. This was the view you get when you walk in the door, quite a site.

God those things are hideous. Nice pictures though and a very cool car, even if it does look like poopoo.

What was the deal with the other SL behind the yellow rope?
