Hey all:

I replaced my air filters today and look what I discovered!

Looks like the previous owner didnt take as good as care as I thought.

I too opened my air box and found some debris in their, my filters were very clean thought (new) AMG stamped on the side. I added my high performance filter and hope to see an improvment.

Mill Creek. That is only one exit down from where I live. I think I have seen your car(RollinAMG) when I drove through Thrashers corner before.

Thanks for the invite though.

If anything comes up in the future could you keep my info? I have some pretty dope stuff done to my car and I would like to see some other MB's for I never see any!

Thanks!

Denla, Dont feel bad, my box looked exactly the same, I had bad dreams about the things that could possibly have entered my engine. I bought my car from a 65yr old jewish woman who stood about 5ft tall. She could barely see over the steering wheel. She is a crazy old woman who loves that amg badge. She sold because she was moving to 2002 e55. I see her drivin it now and then. Its priceless!!!
