Default Maybach at my local Mercedes dealership...

yep, same dealer that got the SLR McLaren in a week or so ago. Those pictures are here:

I actually saw it driving down the road going the opposite way of me, so naturally I tried to figure out where it was going. I lost him when I got stuck in traffic but I assumed it was heading to the Mercedes dealer so I stopped by and sure enough it was there.

It's actually Michael Vick's Maybach, he's trading it in on a Bentley Arnage. Has only 1,600 miles on it and I must say, it got pretty dirty in that short time. Someone is actually interested in it already (just got there yesterday afternoon), don't know if the person is local or not though. The car is BIG. A sales rep that I know up there opened it up for me and let me check out the interior (sorry forgot to snap pictures in there! ). The interior is rediculous, the finest of everything and you've got more leg room than you'd believe in the back seat. Must be nice to be driven around in it. Anyway, here's the pictures, enjoy!





my favorite thing that I noticed it had on the headlights =)









2 calipers per wheel?

The only reason i would geuss it has two calipers on the back wheels is one is the parking brake, so that when you have just been driving and stopping with your primary calipers, when you put the parking brake on its nice and cool unlike your primaries.

that's actually a picture of the front right wheel, not the rear.

Then perhaps I was mistaken, but that is the case as with other cars such as the Porsche Carrera GT.

you're probably right about the parking brake though, I guess it just has them on all corners. I mean the car does weigh around 6,000 lbs. so I guess two extras up front are only helping.
