the problem is that it's one piece of metal with three bends in it. Variation in temperature causes it to flex, expand, contract, etc., so keeping it aligned is a pain. Although thanks to the huge panel gaps, it's not always noticed.

Thanks! that's actually the original GM color, April Gold.
no biggie....I am sure there are a zillion European cars I wouldn't be able to identify....As for the 'bird, some days I wish it was a Camaro, that integrated chrome bumper is a pain. Never lines up right
its funny, you're the second guy to call it a Camaro...but its the other f body...its a Firebird. You can get a very nice first gen Camaro or Firebird for under 20K easily. Under 10k would be a fixer upper but not a bad one. As for the w221 merc, they still go for over 30K unless the mileage is over six figures. …
Maintenance ain't cheap for Mercedes, that's a given. Then again, we had a third generation Odyssey minivan that was nothing but problems, including some expensive ones...
I wonder if you can get the parts for the third row seat and modify the AMG to fit...or is there something in the AMG model that would be in the way of doing so? Would be a great, and maybe even relatively easy, customization job...
If cars could run on gas fumes, I could run mine after a meal at Taco Bell...
How about the myth that you can become an approved "followed by Jalopnik" poster on Jalopnik by posting intelligent, witty posts...
I love this car...but one thing bothers me. If it's target is the 911, then why call it a GT? The 911 is not a GT.
I see a lot more Challengers and Cudas than Firebirds at most shows...and you barely see first generation 'birds - '67-'68s.
I know you are looking for a specific car, but I really would argue Cadillac as a brand. So many mistakes, where to begin? Before the 70s you could argue that they were indeed a world standard, but then downhill from there until the nadir that was the Catera. They are now back in the game...
Actually, the first, 2011, SLSs are going for around $130K. I bet in five years, we can add it to the under $100K group... May need to start saving some money.
kind of sucks...would love to get a SLS under 100k...it's always kind of interesting which supercars go up in value and which don't..
