Best I could do due to lighting! I couldn't stop smiling all the way home! Ear to Ear! Question about keyless go. You need to step on brake to start the car, but do you need to step on brakes to turn it off?

No, you do not. All you need to do is put it in park and push the button to shut the engine off.

Thanks! Will be putting parts on in the near future. Letting wife take it in without the mods, because once I put them on, she's gonna kill me.

Lights were everywhere and my vehicle was parked in front of their glass panes, so much exposure for a camera phone. Will take some more later, and post the engine builder. I told the AMG manager that I needed a carbon fiber license plate frame to seal the deal, sarcastically, and he said "We'll order it right now and have it by the end of the week." LOL SWEET.

So excited that I ate my whole pizza lunch in 5 minutes so I could get back to posting! Instead of "OMG, I'm finally gonna have sex!" It's more like "OMFG, I'm finally gonna drive this thing!!!" Was 3 hours late to work lol! I wonder why! My father drove in front of me while we were going home and he phoned me to drive in front of him so he could hear the exhaust. LOL.

I saw a Red GTR making a left turn at the red light and I gave him a thumbs up! He returned the gesture!

Only one thing bothered me. When I checked the mileage, it was at 22 mi. I asked my sales rep why it was so high and they told me their technicians had to inspect and road test it, and stated that usually they don't do more than 10 miles of testing. He also stated that it must have come from factory tested also. Does AMG test the vehicles themselves and not just the engine? Like on the track or something?

I actually like the smoky headlight look compared to the chrome housing without lighting package, but to each their own. Some colors look better with chrome than others.

Light was behind the vehicle. Best shot I could get at that exposure.

Dude, you are totally fine. 22 miles is nothing. That's from your house and down the street like 3 times. Don't sweat it. Every baby spends some time at the hospital after they are born!
