Rick, of Whitemarsh, Maryland, has found a way to roll with both crews by dropping a stroked 350 V8 good for 450 horsepower in his 2004 Scion xB.

Oh, and to make things better it's also been converted to RWD (so it's theoretically drivable). There's no telling how much money has been put into this car, but according to his estimates there's been at least 10 months worth of work done on the car to get it converted, painted and ready to drive. Wouldn't it have been easier to just use a Hayabusa? [CarDomain via CarScoop]

They've gone ahead and posted two press shots of the new SexytimeLight from Mercedes. We've included one above and one more from the rear below the jump. So what's new on the new SL? Well — it's got a more angular look from the tips of the star all the way up the hood and check out the new-look antifog lights and simplification of the grille-bars. All-in-all, this little drop-top looks hot. We likey and want to see more. One more shot for you to see below the jump.
