AMG GAS GUZZLER TAX HISTORY

AMG GAS GUZZLER TAX HISTORY

We need a diversion so maybe you guys with far more knowledge than I have can help me win a couple of beers.


Assuming the GTR, GTC AND E63S end up with a Gas Guzzler Tax, are they the first AMG'S to receive the assessment or were there other previous models?

Please post the Year and model of any others.


Many thanks.

Thanks Vic!

BTW: With those Long Beach VPC pictures NOBODY should be crazy enough to bet you on anything.

I sure hope the Brunswick VPC treated the GTR's as well as those appear to have been treated.


Boy am I going to loose some beer!!


Best regards

Jerry

Guess what sits next to my GTS in the garage? Yep, a tri-tap kegerator! Any GTSers in the Irvine area are invited to stop by. Cigars also available.

In the interest of continuing Vic's photo as proof, I hereby submit:








I'm always available for an airport run...but there's very little room for luggage in my GTS!
