I was at an MB Dealership (Rallye) with my Dad earlier today doing some homework for a new car. And there we saw her.....

a McLaren SLR. These things sell for about 450,000 Euros (about half a million here in the US)... But the owner of Rallye bought this one at a charity auction (the first one in the US from what our dealer told us) for $2.1Million.

This car was a sight to be seen. Even from the corner of your eye, this car pulls your attention like gravity. It is truly a thing of beauty. Styling was over the top... but not in a way that seemed ridiculous. Quite honestly, this is probably one of the only cars in the world that can be this outrageously styled & have the bite to back it up. Amazing.

Unfortunately, the whip was all locked up. However, our dealer promised me that he'd let me sit in it when I come back this Friday. I'll post pics when I do....

The dealers only get one a piece so that can pretty much charge whatever they want (I know this was charity). I was talking to a guy at the mb dealership the other day and he said that they would start taking bids and the highest bider wins. Supply and demand doesn't quite meet up on this one. For that price I'd rather have a ferrari or 6.
