Ach so.  ;)

Your pictures are great, and your photoshops are amazing man, keep 'em up. BTW, how do you change the color on some of the models? I really want to learn how to do that. On this Pritschen ML, how did you change the color!?  :o  I use Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Do you use another program?

5MP is a nice camera.  My camera is a 4MP.  Anything over 4 is what I consider "Good".  
:D

They're also available on the SL class roadster.

The only SLR I've seen in person was at the Technik Museum in... crap. I can't remember, I'll have to consult my photo album. Anyway, it's an impressive machine, but not all that beautiful, I think. I believe there was one at the MB museum too, but I can't remember.

There is an SLR at MB of West Chester (unsold if anyone is looking for one). It's freakishly wide. The car as a whole it just very big, much bigger than I was expecting. Still a cool looking car though. And the paint used is awesome.

MB of Princeton had one, sold to some foreign prince, however.  It is a large car, which is opposite the Enzo, which looks large in pictures but is rather small.

The Enzo is quite long and wide, but it is very short.

The Technik museum had them parked right next to each other. Interesting comparison. LONG and wide (SLR) to really short (height) not very long (length) but still really wide (Enzo). That's probably as close as I'll ever get to the drivers seat of either car, though.

Yeah. Personally, I think the Enzo is ugly. It's an impressive machine, but that's about it.

I just said that I had, a couple posts up.

And of course, what kind of car nut would I be if I hadn't taken a picture?

Nice machine, but not very attractive.

I just about got an erection when I saw the Enzo in London...  :P  The car is stunning in person, and just the feeling of being around something that fast (one of the fastest cars IN THE WORLD!) just makes you drop dead.

The first time I "stole" one of the family cars and floored it, I will honestly say it "raised a tent in my pants like a 220 HP coupe" should.
