    Ryalex,
    Congrats on the car...

    I can see you in the passenger seat now:

    "Now son, let this be a VERY VERY VERY valuable lesson to you, because I know it was for me"


    ;)

    Geee...thanks God, its not my cash!!
    May I kindly ask how old your son is? I drove the SLR on a test-day in Spa one year ago and I must say that you have to do very very foolish things with this heavy sports-truck to make it spin!!!

    My advise: buy your son a russian Lada and buy youself an MC-12!!

    Ciao!
    Walter

    I think Testors carries the necessary touch up paint. ;)

    Just throw that one away and buy another. With your contract you should have enough money.

    Glad to hear your baseball contract is working out so well Ryan! Is the trade to the Yanks as a starting pitcher still gonna happen?

    Sears sells Krylon in a spray can and they have a silver that's very very close to that. I suggest a DIY repair on this one, as its probably going to get dinged up again by your son, so why invest in a good fix? Just cover it up with Krylon and keep driving it.
