Hello, new G500 owner =)

Hello, not much activity in this thread, but just like to say hi to the other G class owners. I just got a 2003 G500 with low mileage and lots of options in it today =) The previous owner of the car was Ross Perot's niece and her husband, which is a interesting lil fact.

Nice G....Nice purchase......"Measure twice, cut once" and all the Ross Perot jazz. Check out www.pointedthree.com. Very active G forum there. I'm not far from you. Just here in Winchester. If you ever want to put a few scratches on that pretty black paint job send me a PM through the pointed three forumn (same name). I ride a lot of different trails in the Shenandoah Valley (GW Nat'l Forest) in my G. We're always looking for company

Nice G

We have several autos and we rarely drive them now that we have the G. Even sold the Range Rover. Congrats.

Thanks guys. I absolutely love the G. eventho my CLS gets way better gas mileage, but i still like to drive the tank around hehe. Just put on a custom exhaust with dual sidewall exhausts, kinda like the AMG style but a lil more rumble to it. Will post pics soon.

Also have K&N air filters in it and the 10,000k HID conversion kit is almost here =)

Side exhaust! Nice! Are they AMG tips? Side exhaust on the standard G was a topic of conversation a few weeks ago. Custom seems to be the only option

No, not AMG tips...I would feel guilty putting on just AMG tips if its not a real AMG exhaust system..I believe AMG wanted somewhere around 3000ish for the exhaust system..I just went with a custom, sounds great, looks nice. Cost me about $600(parts+labor).
