 The SL500 is a dream vehicle. The 
power to weight ratio makes it a 
thrill to drive. Although it is a 
sports car it drives like a touring 
sedan. I can drive for hours and not 
feel tired of driving, like in others 
vehicles I have driven. It is a 
stylish vehicle that always turns 
heads. The engineering of the vehicle 
never ceases to amaze me. The only 
drawback has been the storage of the 
hardtop while not in use (9 months in 
New Orleans). The design engineers 
have corrected that in 2002, but I 
still love the body style of the 1998.
