As I was walking on Madison from the Citicorp building in Chicago last night, my eyes caught a glimpse of a silver car. No, wait. It was not just a car. It was the Mercedes McLaren SLR! I had to make sure that I wasn't dreaming or had my eyes deceive me. And yes, I had an eye-witness as well.
A half-million dollar sports car rolling down a Chicago street. It was a sweet sight. An unbelievable one as well.
Sometimes, seeing it up close (seeing anything up close) makes it more dramatic and memorable.
By far, that Mercedes is the most expensive car in action I've witnessed with my naked eyes.
Is it worth the money to own the car? and to non-enthusiasts, do they even know about it? Obviously, to drive a car like McLaren SLR, you want to show it off. But what's to show if no one knows about the car??
