SL65 AMG

Just picked up an SL65 AMG this morning. Black on black.

I'm all ecited!! Got it home, popped the hood, guess what?? A freaking V8 under the hood. I'm pissed, looking for lawyers as we speak.

It's my son's car btw.

Wow I don't even know what to say! Did you test drive it or anything when buying it?

BTW how old is your son? Last thing we need is a 18 year old with a 600hp AMG...

It's real!!

It's a Maisto 1:18 scale SL65 AMG my 2.5 years old bought. Went home, open the box, popped the hood, a freaking V8 engine out of a SL63 AMG.

On the side note I'm very proud of my son. Out of all the flashy Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette,....He picked a black on black SL65 AMG. I know I would not have.
