You know you own a BEAST when........

Hi ALL

This could be the start of a thread ..........You know you own a BEAST when........

You need another set of tires before your first service
(in my case I've done 8,400 miles - still 3,000 before Service #1 and rear tires are done, shredded, finished, dead, kaput, toast, fried, smoked ....... you get the idea) SISWATI

when at the start of a long open road, you floor it and after a few secs, you feel a vibration travel down the length of the beast, hear a couple sonic booms, and arrive at the end of the stretch a few years younger speaking german yelling "e=mc2!!!"

[QUOTE=MBE55AMG]... when you notice to your left and right that other drivers have their nose pancaked to their window, lookin at your V8 Kompressor badging and their wrists moving suspiciously below the window sill...

When you take off from the lights in second or third row behind some hotted up V8's or Turbo Ricers and arrive at the next set of lights 1/4 mile ahead of them. The looks on their silly faces are priceless!

W203 slightly modified
You know you own a BEAST when........

... your dealership keeps breaking the same parts on purpose so they can lemon the car back from you ....

... other drivers throw Holy Water at you

... you need a tire iron to pry yourself out of the seat

... you get a cat scan and your brain has been squashed to the rear of your skull

... cops pull you over just to have a closer look

... you take a photo of the car to show your forum buddies and there is nothing in the image.

... Steve refuses to mod it !

... your COMAND has a star chart !

1) you can't stop smiling

2) Steve visits more than once

3) people STOP talking to you

4) your employees all ask for a raise

5) that yellow triangle in the dash is always flashing

1) When your rear tires are toast at 8000mi and you don't care.

2) When strangers in Buicks flag you to roll down your window and then shout across traffic "That's the one! How fast is it?"
