Thanks for the support.

Actually you are right, I am taking off the dealer frame, and getting a new plate thats dark blue or black in color. Something to do with saving the turtles. Its a local thing, but the tag looks great.

I just took the kids for a Sunday morning ride, and my two year old daughter goes " Daddy, buy it, buy it." I told her " darling, its bought, but just not paid for!!" One day she'll understand.

And tone down the language champ.

Thanks for the support. In Florida, if you trade in, the plates goes to the new car. If you dont trade in it takes sometimes 45 days to get the new tag.

Thanks for the congrats man !

Believe me I drooled over Nevadajacks photos for 2 weeks. The pictures he took were great. White or Black were the only colors I felt that the car looked great in. Black is more hassle though.

Now we can all drool over yours too! Great looking car. White is right and black is beautiful! This is clearly a black & white issue.

Color and AMG package matters in this car.

Clearly spoken, especially for this car. Its a matter of color, not creed. Well, its gotta have the AMG package or its looks good enough for a chauffeur driven CEO

We park them inside the garage and secure the garage with a metal contraption that supposedly holds the door down. Its worked for the last two seasons. Unfortunately, I also got a TOyota Camry which stayed outside, and roof tiles fell on it and damaged the entire trunk and roof.

But, Florida is still the greatest. We love it.

I have been living in FL now for almost 15 years. I am ready to get out of here, I can not stand the weather anymore everytime I go outside I feel like I am walking into a sauna. I am looking into going to grad school in Denver.

lol..........I love it when kids like getting rides in nice cars. Sometimes I think they appreciate it more than we do! When I was 5, my dad had a (don't laugh) Peugeot 505 Turbo. God I loved going for rides in that thing! Then at 12 years old, I came across a curious car in my neighbor's driveway called the 911 Turbo 3.6...........and the rest is history...... One day I WILL have my very own brand new 911 Turbo!!!!!

Congrats on the S! I love the car! AND turtles are cool.

2. I transfered the plates of the trade in. Infact, the dealer as a courtesy, do it for you.
I was just teasing u! Great ride BTW!!!
