Default Anyone want a close up look of a SLR McLaren?

A-Rod Mercedes Benz just got one and should have it in the showroom in a couple days. My friend works there and got to test it out even had to fix a oil leak. I will try to get some pics of it....... man I wish I could drive it.

heh... that's triple the amount that my parents paid on their house. I wouldn't be surprised to see a high 6 digit price tag on that thing though, that looks sick

Considering they're not building any more of them, that puppy should fetch a hefty price premium.

Hmmm.. House or car..... Well, the house wins because I sure couldn't live in that thing. I have too much stuff!

I completely understand that it's a badass car but the front end just doesn't do it for me, the ridge up the middle reminds me of gonzo's nose.

I read somewhere that Chrysler planned to halt production. Can't seem to find the article now, though.
