When I arrived the F1 was the 1st car I took pictures of, then one of your NSX(from the view most people see)... there was a little girl touching the F1 and her brother was going crazy about it. Then when I was walking back to the car to meet my dad, I stopped to take one last picture of the worlds fastest production car, and this guy walking behind me stopped to tell me that he saw the F1 towed out infront of a cajun house with 150K in damage... no problem on the compliment. The S500 is really nice car, would be cool if you added one to your garage. SL500 is nice too, saw an 03 RENNtech SL500 here in Mesa, sharp car. |

Thanks for the compliment.
Hey funny but a kid asked me
to autograph his magazine MYNSX
was featured in (this is the 3-4 th
time Ive been asked this )What a nice compliment it is .
Actually my 355 was in the shop a "check engine light" was tripped and I didn't want to take any chances.
I much more preffered the from of shop VIP lookin' spot I wound up w/ .It wasn't until
I was walkin' around I noticed the F-cars in the back as well as Mr. Kennedy's McLaren F-1 as well as his NEW ENZO (good for him!!)
I say that especially because it's obvious he usually make an effort to take a few moments to be as accomidating to display his auto's and answer any questions the small crowd might have.

speaking of your NSX, I was checking it out the night the Enzo's were unveild, very nice car man! But why take the NSX to a Ferrari event instead of your 355. Would they not let you in the valet parking because you were in an NSX ? |

The S500 with the sport package is a great looking car. I prefer the previous body style S-class, but the new one is very nice as well. |

My friend works at a Toyota dealership
and they recieved a 2001 Mercedes S-500
as a trade on a new Sequoya (SUV I think they are).Anyway the car was very nice and offered
at 56,000 (plus tax tags lic.fees etc.)Black/limo tinted/black interior/AMG wheels "chrome" (I'll pass on the pimpin' chrome )other than that the car was near perfect condition w/ 28,000 miles on it.
From my research thats about what they are going for although it's about 6 months shy of good timing unless I was rid of my NSX which I will put on consignment locally until the Barett Jackson auction in Jan 04'.
The car was very smooth ,good power,a lot of X-tra "stuff" to make you feel like a king (if not until the novelty wears off).
