Mercedes SLR McLaren
Off Topic but...My wife called me this afternoon and asked "What is a Mercedes SLR?". My first response was why??? She said "There is one driving next to me on San Jose and I was just wondering what it was". My second response was "PLEASE DON'T HIT IT!!!".

We have a black Carrera GT in the area and I guess now we have another $500,000 toy in the hood! The guy with the GT drives it to work and uses it as a daily driver! I see him about once a week or so on one of the most congested / construction ridden roads in town!!!

What a different world...

I saw one in the Fall of 2004 when staying in Beverly Hills at the Peninsula Hotel. It took me 2 days to finally figure out what it was. I had to ask the Doorman!

The Indiana Pacers gave one to Reggie Miller last year when he retired. Guess he had just about everything else!
