Default SLR Sighting!

Saw it last night on Ossington just north of Bloor. From a distance I thought it was a new 500 or 600 SL as I got closer the back lights looked different to say the least. I thought to myself, could it be? The driver then turned onto a sidestreet and I saw the gills, I could not believe my eyes! The car looked insane! I've seen one at the autoshow but I never thought I'd see one on the road so soon. I saw one auctioned off on TV a couple of weeks ago for over 900K US!

There's a silver one in Richmond Hill...I see the car pretty frequently at the gym. Sounds incredible...first time I saw it, I just froze - completely stunned at the noise it makes.

The one I saw was silver as well. I was about 50 meters away from the car when it turned. I wanted to follow it to get a closer look but my girlfriend started complaining that the car excited me more than she did, I think that she was right...LOL

The car does look a little overdone, but "OVERDONE" is the only way to describe this thing; styling , HP, torque, price, etc. all overdone.
