saw a MB SLR McLaren!!!!!!!!!

holy sh*t guys,

i pulled on the 57 freeway this morning in socal, and the first car i ran into was this silver SLR McLaren!!!!!! it had a new dealership plate on it. oh my sh*t it was freakin sexy....i pulled next to him in my mom's rx330 (mr2 is down ), tried to give the guy a thumbs up, but as soon as i was next to him he punched it a bit and went from 70-100 in like, 0.0000001 second.

the car is just immensely sexy, i cannot even.....damn i'm just too excited. i'm sorry.

anybody else seen this car on the road? i never expected to see it....but damn it was good to be able to run into it!!!

I seen that same one 2- days ago on the 57s by the "brea Mall". I gave him a cause for the money you pay for that is rediculus and for a cheaper price you can just purchase a "Saleen S7 Twin turbo" with 750hp and twin GT35r's stock. Also that thing is slow for the power it has and has a bad power to weight ratio.

That makes me cry

On a related note, I saw a YELLOW Carrera GT near my home yesterday... I'd never even seen a yellow one even in pictures.

The only time I ever saw an SLR was at the Oakland dealership in Norcal and I saw a Carrera Gt once on the Bay bridge.

About 6-8 months ago I saw 3 of them in succession doing what I would assume to be some high altitude shakedown runs at altitude on Squaw Pass in CO. (12,000ft high) It was pretty neat, they had some panels covered as to "distract" from what the car really was.

I saw one parked outside in front of my university (Montreal university) and I was like why is a 300000$+ car parked like a normal car outside. Oh and also, it was getting a ticket and some guy passing by told with a smile: He can afford it!

They have an SLR McClaren at our local Benz dealership and I personally think they are hideous.
