Another day in the office (1st of 3 exotic cars ill be drivin)
lol yesterday i think was the true awakening on how good we have it at my office, :yahoo:
so in the morning we decide to goto target...Ask the boss, hey we gotta go get some toys for the office. Ok cool, the convo went like this
Me "We need to goto target to pick some things up"
Owner "Have fun"
Me "We need a car though, can we take the SL?"
Owner "Keys are downstairs, have fun boys!"
End result, I got to drive around in the company SL500
and for those of you who don't know its a $130,000 mercedes with a hardtop convertible....
btw we picked up a golfing game, dart board, and basketball thing...haha life is good
p.s. im grabbing the car again today to take a drive to a customers house, haha i love this job
heres some pics
best part is there is a contest to whoever does the most business get to keep the car for a week. im in the top running right now.

One custom CL
not fond of the SL500. Have driven a shit load of them. SL55 AMG on the other hand is a diff story. I drove SL55 AMG black on red. Took it for a quick spin and holy shit.

the best is the owner with the SL55 AMG has the license plate YLD SPRD. If anybody knows morgages that means Yield Spread aka the way we make our money.

As a valet... Im not impressed either. When you drive the lambo then you can come back and say you drove an exotic... until then the sl500 is just another benz.
Anything over 80k is status? So an enzo is just status then.. also... no performance there...

if i spend 250k on a car, im sorry but for 250k i can make a different car a shitload faster for the same price. The only reason your buying the enzo is because of what it is, not for its strict performance and nobody can deny that.

sorry, i guess i should take into consideration where i live, i see these kinds of cars on a daily basis, especially the sl500, i'll see a dozen a day, their like hondas. so i suppose it takes al ittle more to impress me in particular.
and it's almost standard to have exhausts/intakes on 360s/gallardos around here.
