2017 AMG GTS
First time AMG owner - 2017 AMG GTS

Have been following the GT ever since they first dropped. Finally pulled the trigger this week and now the fun begins (maybe skide skirts, blacked out badging, hmmm). Love looking back at all the posts for great ideas.

Ticked all the boxes and some more:
- 15k miles
- Carbon Ceramic Braking, Crossticth Brown Leather, Designo Selenite Grey Magno, Burmester® Sound and a bunch more.
- Not an issue I could find and seems to have been really well kept (knock on wood)

Met up with a buddy and he grabbed a few pics out here facing SF --- hope to meet other GT owners in the Bay as soon as events start to come back to life.

thanks all for the warm welcome.

on the interior - if anyone is thinking about that interior go for it! The brown comes across a little orange in pictures which made me hesitant but in person it has a rich baseball glove thing going. Could see it getting better with time.

now just need to research a good leather conditioner. please link if folks have a go to.
