I think a lot of people complaining of the alleged expenses never owned a 12 cyl car. I simply don't have these expenses. Maybe I'm just a lucky guy.

Sitting for seven years? Hope nothing is lurking around a bend! Pretty car for sure.

I know a guy in my town that has a sub 6K mile SL550 AMG package and a 3K mile 911 C4S cab, both are sitting in garages unused because he bought a new BMW 850 convertible as his new summer toy!

MB dealer offered him 25K for the SL (pre-covid), he laughed and said for that he would rather leave it in his garage.

The SL63 is surprisingly quick!

Very nice.
I find that in the garage, it's easier to get out of it if you raise the suspension.

Stepping out versus crawling out!
