The Mercedes SL 550 & SL600 Roadsters are rides I wouldn’t mind rolling around Charleston with. I’d take a Convertable, Silver one with all the trimmings. Of course the price tag on this baby would set me back around 30 years since my house is worth about the same as this but whatever. The SL550 starts at around $96K and the SL600 is around $136K. The price has increased around 2% from the 2008 models but that’s just inflation I guess. In my opinion, if you could afford the 2008 model.. you can afford the 2009 model.
Power is something you will not run short of with either of these babies. The SL550 wil take you from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds an impressive number to say the least. But even more impressive is the SL600 which will shove your head back and take you from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. The SL600 boasts a V12 510-HP motor soo sooo sick.
Car and Driver did a first look review on these two beauties and you can check it out here
Kevin Love is the starting UCLA Power Forward/Center. He is the son of Stan Love who was an NBA player in the 70s. I don’t follow College Hoops as much as I do the NBA but after watching UCLA destroy Xavier yesterday, I feel that I should. Watching Kevin Love play the type of ball he did makes me appreciate the future of basketball even more. Kevin Love played a great overall game and just dominated the center position. He played with intensity, motivation, purpose and most of all he played the game with his head. He played the game with such great basketball IQ that you would never think that this guy is still a freshman, which he is. Being a son of a past NBA player probably had alot to do with his early upbringing regarding the game but it was just amazing to watch. I feel bad that I have missed the season because we don’t get the UCLA games here in the South. But from this day forward I will make a conscious effort in following this man’s career as I have become a fan.
So with UCLA win against Xavier they are now on their way to San Antonio and have reached the Final Four for 3 straight seasons. They lost to Florida the past two years they reached the Final Four hopefully the 3rd time is a charm. The only team left in the Tourney that will cause UCLA problems is North Carolina. But I think the way the Bruins are playing right now they can overcome that obstacle.
So it will be possible for both the Bruins and the Lakers to win the Championship in the same year. Ahh that would be nice.
