Wink Ran into AMG EATER tag on a M5 today

My wife and I were driving on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd and saw a M5. As we got closer I pulled into the lane next to him at the red light. The light turned green and we both moved with the traffic. His lane opened up and he pulled ahead of me a little, and that's when I saw the personalized tag AMG EATER. Needless to say I switched lanes applied a little pressure to the peddle while praying that the eater would just breathe wrong. Sorry guys, not action! He just turned into the U turn lane without making as much as a sound.

I believe that this is the guy that talked alot of smack to me about his Porsche a few months ago on this site. We'll, he had his chance to eat some AMG, but maybe his stomach wasn't in a very digestive mood, or he is very faint at heart.

If I recall that plate is from his modded Lambo he used to own. He knows the M5 isn't much quicker than AMGs. Don't get to excited cause he didn't want to play.

The plate is from a modded 996 Turbo that he transferred to his Gallardo SE and then transferred to his M5.
