    Where I go to high school a lot of kids and there parents have nice cars. When I walk out of the doors of my school everyday I walk by the car line. On a daily basis I see some Mercedes and BMWs. Every now and then I see some guys yellow turbo. However today was different. When I walked out of school today I saw a long ass Mercedes so I told myself o that must be a sl 500 but it wasn't because when I looked down the side of it had a badge. At first I couldn't read because it was so far away so when I got close to it said V12 bi-turbo and I was like wtf I never seen that before usually the c 63 and the big boy Mercedes have that. So when I looked at the back it said SL 65 with brand new plates but it wasn't the new model. I will try to take pictures of it tomorrow if I see it again since its a brand new car. Sorry that I this was long post so it seems like I saw a Bugatti or something. Anyways sl 65s or 63s worth mentioning in this section.

    The viper at LoH was a venom. The guy across my street just has a "normal" one.

    There was a sweet R8 at St. Regis valet last night. That's the first one I've seen parked anywhere.

    Damn it, I wish I would have been there. Would have loved to have seen it, but I'm only there Thurs-Sun lately.

    Today a customer let me take out his "lightly" breathed on 996 turbo on Memorial today. Somewhere around 700-800 hp. We weren't even close to using the power because I lost my nerve around 110 mph in 3rd gear when the turbos woke up and REALLY started to blow. Here's a quick link to the shop that did the work.

    Was the top blue (i think)?

    I can't imagine their being that many. But I saw it on S. Rice by Sam's Club yesterday.

    Black 599 yesterday afternoon with yellow calipers @ S. Rice around 12-2pm. Very docile, but one sexy car!

    the SL65 is a 2 seater. You probably saw a S65. That's the 4 door long big boy (identical to my 2007 S600). Slight chance it was a Maybach.
