    Ah. I'm pretty sure I've seen your car too - it's black, correct?

    PS: I like the design of your new billboard; very clean looking and when you're stopped you can read it all. The text isn't high enough contrast though and too small to absorb in a drive by.

    Ah. I've seen someone in a black coupe a few times on Charleston, then there's the blue roadster that parks by Crockett & Myers, and then my friend has an indigo coupe.


    It's a tough balance. I started with more text and kept whittling it down until it was just 3-4 words, website and phone. We have trivision rotators now that are basically three words and our 1-800 number.

    Bill Brenske has a 2007 Volante. I have not see the coupe. I just bought mine this week. I am wondering if there is an Aston club or where people go to set the horses free. She wants to run, but the freeways are a bit too congested.

    Congratulations!

    The Ferrari club is pretty active http://www.ferraricluboflasvegas.com/ although I haven't been to anything for a bit (except the McLaren MP4 launch party in Summerlin a few mos ago), and I get occasional invites to the Lotus stuff as well.

    Henness got a new Virage. There's a blue DB9 coupe as well I usually see up on Bridger. I've been trying to figure out who has the blue 612 I see around every few weeks.

    Occasionally I see test vehicles with manufacturer plates, most often Mercedes. There's a GL and an R-class 'Bluetec' I have seen a bunch, today I saw a new E-class wagon on the freeway. Rear looks very cubed.

    A few weeks ago I saw a BMW 5-series in full camo panels, given the dimensions and big bulges in front I assume it was a new M5 being tested.

    Today I saw the dark blue 612 with the older man driving that I see every month or two, he was on Sahara by Canyon Gate. Also last night and this morning I saw a new black SL, which I think look really nice if not a little close to the SLS as to dilute the SLS' image (I would be upset if I bought an SLS and the SL then looks 60% similar).

    Largely depends on where you are at. Near the stip, you will typically see several in the Fashion Show area. Otherwise, on a nice weekend you can see people driving near Red Rock.

    The SL is certainly a nice car, but with the depreciation curve on those cars, you are far better off buying a used one as they sink like stones.

    For sure! You can get a 4 year old SL65 with 1,000,000lbs of torque for the same price as a new E350 coupe.

    I just think they're cannibalizing from their own lines... then again, they probably sell 30,000 SLs a year compared to 2,000 SLS.
