What price did you grab the Merc for and how much did you get for the Vagon?

Nicely done. There's no way the feeling should be bittersweet. You've moved up a few notches in the "awesome" department.

Yes, this is the S-model. We're at 577/590 . Crazy part is the torque comes in at 2k rpm!

Well, it's not a ZR1 block like the Vagon had... and not a 5 door, so it wouldn't make sense on the AMG ...

Seriously... I was on the merge ramp heading home and did what I normally do on long merge ramps in the Vagon... manual shift and get on it. Holy crap I nearly pissed myself. Completely different experience than the Vagon. I mean literally it shoved my stomach into my throat. The Vagon pushed you back... this gives you a hernia. It was insane. And the 4Matic just puts the power down so well...

One last pic I forgot to post.... grabbed this really quickly before leaving to drop off the Caddy this morning. You're looking at over 1130 hp right there. Pretty cool...

I guess the good news is that if Jason wants the personalized plate for his Vagon, it will be available when I turn it in to the DMV this week
I do want that plate I hate to see the caddy go though.

That is crazy power. I am sure there is a chip tune you can get to make even more though. I need a ride in this whenever you next make it to cars and coffee. Beautiful new addition.

Haha, thanks! Interesting story about the facade... we collected those by hand ourselves for the addition. Went around the land and grabbed rocks... enough to do the front and a half-wall on the back of our mudroom. That way it matched what the house was built with way back when and makes it look like the garage has always been!

As for driving it... yeah, she will. We picked it up outside of Atlanta. She test drove it, and after we bough it, I drove it home.

lol.. had a feeling you did

Probably is a chip/tune available... but it's honestly more than enough. Plus it's a DD... so we'll probably leave it as is. For now anyway...

That's a cool story about the stones! Do you have a home build thread!?!?
Shit, someone lied to you!...I had my previous TL for 7 years. Then found out we're gonna have a baby and got another S2000...another TL and now the VagWagon all in a 1 year span!
Kids mean MORE toys! You can hide the spending with other stuff...bam, jumper for the kid, some diapers and formula, corsa and airraid , kid fence and new learning toys. Nothing to see here



Hey, what the fk...how did you get a thread title change so fast....oh wait....

I don't know if I documented the full stone collection... but I think we collected around a ton. Felt like that anyway

They are out there, but cost a pretty penny. Plus, we have 3 trucks... so we're good for cargo hauling
