Thanks for letting me join--

Currently I have a 1989 190 E 2.6. Have nothing but great things to say about it (except for the time when the battery died right as I went over the fricken train tracks). Decided I'm looking for something a little different, I think that the 1990 sl 300 is a definate possibility. Better mileage than a 500 with power to boot. Questions I have about this car as digging for information is a little tiresome. Does it come with two tops, as is, when the covertible top is down, a hard top can be placed on top? Does anyone know a top speed? Is insurance a killer? Doesn't seem like it from checking quotes though.. What's the ride like, smooth? At high speeds? Do you have any suggestions for other models that are around the same price range? I know that I will be sticking with a Mercedes, first time you sit in any model you know you will have one for life.
Let me know what you think. (is forum in the right place??)
does it have the same options as in the 500 sl?
