Matt, one of the new england guys had one. be aware the brakes are the same setup as the cayenne. so beaucoup deniero $$$$ over $1k per corner.

I didn't drive the current SL63, no sense torturing myself if I'm not going to buy it. It's nibbling at 200K.
I thought about the Sl55 but ... i have read that they really softened the suspension from the AMG GT line.
I'm still hunting for the right AMG GT C roadster.

We have a later model Q7 as well, so we're depressingly aware of the costs of ownership. They do what we need them for, in great comfort and safety, I just wish the Landcruiser we'd test driven before we bought our first Q7 was a better example, it put my wife off them.

Maybe a nice bucket list.

I can buy the NJ one. No one lives down there. It's probably 50 miles of almost exclusively farmland. The PA one I drive all the time. It goes along the Delaware River and right through Yardley, Washington's Crossing and New Hope. The New Hope 2 miles can be 10 minutes on a weekend through town. The rest of the ride can vary, there's times we get 3-4 miles of open road, and times we're stuck behind someone for the same time.

I have to think there's something in the middle of the state with less traffic.

^ Once they get that DeLorean cleaned up, it's going to look fabulous! I will never forget sitting in one at the dealership. It felt like I was in an airplane cockpit, not in a car.

Having my tech order new tires for the Perkymobile. Will call with options before he orders. Just need all season radials. Not too expensive. I know there have been recommendations on here. Just can’t find them.
