Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I checked page 1, and didn't see it. I think you might have said it on a different thread, but not this one...

I know you don't want to discuss personal info, but all I wanted to know was of those three industries you're in, which did you start or did you do something else to get into those 3?

As far as the review goes, im not going to be as in depth just for the simple fact that a lot of the stuff is just too hard to describe. I have never experienced a car like this before so everyday I drive it I am still amazed.
Power
All i can really say about the power is that this car makes my 745i sport seem like a toyota corolla, its really that much of a night and day difference. Its not so much of the pull off the line (although that is a HUGE difference compared to the bmw i had) but more of once you are going how fast you can accelerate. I go up and down hills to get to and from work and when i get on it (not totally on it since im still in the break in period) i leave every single car behind me in the dust.
Brakes
The brakes are amazing as well. As you can see from my original pictures the rotor rotors and calipers literally take up the entire inside of the stock amg 19in wheels.
Interior
The seats hug you like you are in full on racing seats almost yet at the same time have the luxurious options such as heated and ventilated seats as well as massaging seats. So you can feel relaxed while going 100+ (i dunno if thats a good thing tho haha). the headliner is full suede and very good quality from what i can tell. The instrument cluster is nice but i do prefer the more eye level view of the bmw idrive system. One thing I also do not really like is that if you want to use the paddles on the wheel to change tracks on a cd you have to switch to a viewing function that takes away the total milage driven and the trip milage driven., why they did this i do not know.
Exhaust/Engine
When i start this badboy up in the morning you would think i just started up a race car. My wife who isnt into cars at all, put it best saying "it sounds badass." The engine cover as you can see in my new picture is made from carbon fiber which i think is really cool.
This is the first time I have written a review so if i missed anything or you just want to know more about something please feel free to ask me.

Pit Stop?
I just have to say, you have wonderful taste in cars 
It's somewhat fun to live vicariously through a fellow board member
Is it true what they say? "V12s are better!"
