    Mmm. Tough one. Sort of like a choice between "70' Fat Jumpsuit Elvis" and "Classic 50's Elvis." ;)


    Gullwing. Of course.

    Both are great cars.

    I'd go with the classic. New cars are disposable.

    Gullwing, no question about it. New cars are nice, but old cars have character, and that gullwing is one of the true design classics. New cars sometimes have character too, but it's usually the guy sitting behind the steering wheel.

    Hummmmm! This ones tough!!! Do I go with just one old Ferrari or 5 or more new ones for the same price. LOL

    But, If i can the coin, I would definatley choose the 125S. The car is stunning.

    Is this some sort of auto-meet @ BM? Please tell me more.

    That question of yours is boarderline unfair, loll... but i gotta give it up to the gullwing in the end. Timeless.

    I'd take the Gullwing, considering that the SLR plummeted in value by well over 100K... msrp was like 445K and now they are like low 300K

    I'd definitely take the 300, i have a thing for vintage cars...and that one is super clean. But with the Ferraris, I'd take the 430 if i could get a different color...but if not...the 125S.

    Bear mountain cruise nights are held on every Wed. night weather permitting. On a good night around 800 cars show up, it's quite an event, they play oldies, there are vendors,food, beer and once in a while someone not so famous shows up.
    She was there last night, any guesses.

    Ouch this is tough. The Gullwing is not a very powerful car but damn it is good looking. However the SLR does have some balls...

    I'd rather have a 328 but I guess a 430 would do as long as it's a 6 spd

    After thinking about it for a while I decided that I would rather have the Gullwing. It is a pure classic and is more significant than either version of the SLR.

    gullwing, the SLR its a piece of crap, im sorry, but i would never drop money on a exotic car that has an automatic (not an SMG) transmission. the way i see it, a gullwing is priceless, and without a doubt my favorite Mercedes ever built
