Well, I was coming home one day, and I noticed a strange looking car parked across the street. Turned out to be a Mercedes SLR McLaren. Happens to be really rare and costs about half a million dollars. Surreal..

Snapped a couple pictures, and this was the best one:

Clicky!

You are a lucky guy. I would have found out who's it was and become good friends with that person. :D

You doubt the veracity of my claim? Feel the wrath of my high powered lawyers!

No lie though, it was outside. I have the original uncompressed RAW image on my camera. So pffft.

Did you make friends with the owner? If you did, do you wanna be friends?

If you marry her, it sounds like he could pay for the wedding 5 times. :p

He will probably end up getting both.

The SLR has a supercharged 5.5 litre V8 engine producing 460 kW (626 hp) and 780 Nm (575 lb.ft) torque, which, unlike most of its contemporaries, is front mounted. Mercedes-Benz claims the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 334 km/h (208 mph). The brake discs are carbon-ceramic which provide better stopping power and fade resistance than steel discs. It has a five speed automatic transmission with three separate modes; Sport, Supersport and Race.


Automatic. Huh...

Apparently the guy who owns it is taking it back to Hong Kong with him. Bah.

Bah, automatic isn't good for a sports car. You must feeeel it.

Yes.. Feel the 500,000 dollar price tag. Bask in the glory of worrying your car will get totaled driving it.

But hey, if he can afford this car, im sure he can afford to insure it.

I've been dating my girl for 2 and a half years, so I think marriage will end up happening.  But tbh, I don't give a crap about their money.  I going to med/dental school and will do plastic/facial surgery.  I will have enough dough.  But, he actually had the car on pre-order when it was "just" 350k but then once it got above 400k he said it wasn't worth it anymore.  I was like (being that I borrow all of their 500 class mercedes at some point) NO NO NO, not overpriced.  Underpriced, buy please.    :D
