Bro, slap a rainbow sticker on the back of your ride and see what you get? Most likely a sh*t ton of BMW owners? Then again, after a few centuries of prisoner inbreeding on your continent.......I'm sure your options are limited. Keep.It.Real.Brah?

Well sounds like you know all the tricks for picking up! Personally I'm into more manly pursuits, no don't get excited; I didn't say pursue men...

I read somewhere there's been 400 AMG engine builders. There's a list on the amg-mercedes site but it's difficult to find.

To be honest with you, I had all intentions of having fun with you due to your nut licking post of -10 points troll comment towards my rebuttal to blackbenzz. I see now that I should let it go due to your recent responses. I would eat your soul. Carry on TheTherapist.....you seem like an older dude trying to be funny. All is well, sir.

Hey I thought we were having fun, us aussies can handle a bit of **** stirring though sometimes it gets lost in the translation. Apart from the nut licking - do you have to reduce everything to man on man action...?
