i wouldn't mind meeting this guy and ask him for a ride or see if he would let me drive on of them

The guys name is Marten - he lives in WI and owns Marten truck lines (blue with a dove on the side). Total baller - met him when he picked up his 996 TT a few years ago. He has a stable of cars we'd die for. If you recall a red 993 TT - S that Valley Imports had in their showroom a year or two ago, that was Marten's too. Very rare, and up until the Carerra GT, it was the quickest and fastest Porsche ever built.

Check out the Brabus version

http://www.supercars.net/cars/2005@$Brabus@$SLR McLarenx.html

Only $790,000

[Pony_Racer]

Brabus.....is fuckin hot.... nice touch

[weshole]

How about the brake rotors alone going for $11,500 each? Not to mention the third service costing $8,000. Thats straight from one of the salesmans mouths. I guess if you can afford the car, you can afford the maintenance. Their supposed to be getting another SLR sometime this summer also. And again, it's already sold.

I checked it out on Thursday, here it is for the people that havent.

so when you getting it LT?

[Bryce]

Looks like a auto.

[Pony_Racer]

their all auto :(. One thing thats its downfall.

Wow, who would have guessed it would have been silver.

Also, If I could afford thet car, I would not let it sit in a dealership for other people to see, potentialy touch/scratch/wreck, etc. Also. That would be pretty easy to steal if ya had the equiptment.

Without even looking at it I can almost guarantee that there are very very very few people in this country that could hotwire that thing in a respectable amount of time. Figure in the video cameras that I'm sure are set up for surveilance both inside and out, along w/ a top notch building security system....ain't gonna be stolen.

Crash a large $1500 used truck (like a GMC kodiak) into the glass, hooke up a chain to the car, drag it out into the parking lot, steal it repo man style, then load it in a semi. There are other parts of this plan, but you could manage it with a base plan like that.
