My lucky ass dad is getting an new SL500!

My dad has a black 2003 SL500 and I noticed that he wasn't that interested in it that much anymore. He calls me yesterday and says that he is thinking about getting a 2004 silver SL500. After all of the buffing and swirl removing that I did on that car, he can't stand black! My dad is good friends with the owner of Fox Valley Motorcars (foxvalleymotorcars.com), and the owner, Bill, is gonna get him a leftover 2004 Silver SL 500....he should pick it up Monday or Tuesday....its coming from a Benz dealer in New Jersey. I guess its got this "panoramic" top option....I really wanna see what it is!

The old one looks extremely dated compared to it.

Thats awesome. Make sure he is aware of the 7g problems before he buys though. Those cases are all over.

BTW, Silver is the only way to go.
