Lainey,
I have to correct you. MAss is now issuing temp plates.
I was given one yesterday and they said they will mail me my plates when they are ready.
The weird part was when we checked our mail box this morning, less than 24 hours later, we already had the new plates.
As an aside the mazda is home in the driveway. actually a a nice little car.

I made my way out to the dealer I got my S63 coupe from. they have an '14 AMG ML63.
Same drive train. 5.5L biturbo V8 515 hp oodles of torque, 7 spd auto 4-matic drivetrain.




slightly higher mileage but should be a fun toy
, on deposit pending SWMBO blessing.
i don't want this one slipping away.

Of course, so far this weekend I've only driven on main roads into town and back. Reeeally want to hit the backroads but too much to do at home.

Jerry I can't keep up with you. This is to replace your SUV, I take it? Have you won the lottery lately and not shared with your fellow MA S2000 pals?

I had no idea on the temporary plates....maybe due to Covid back logs? We don't buy cars as often a you so we are not up on this stuff.....

I agree. Looks like a tiptop to me. If I was his wife I would take away his phone and laptop.

Actually no Lainey this is my winter toy. for a 7 year old vehicle it's in real nice shape.
I haven't publicly spoken about it but I have AMG disease. I'm addicted to torque and raw power.
My S63 coupe was showing some discoloration on the turbo intakes downtubes from salt.
It kind of rattled me since I want that to last forever. I'll never be able to afford to replace that.
I think it will be coming home Friday.
BTW Barbara simply hates the white.but I said"i'm not buying it for you. it is a Diamond White. i.e white with metaflake in it.
really nice but without seeing it, hard to describe. pearlescent maybe.
I want a family portrait of the fleet but the GT-S and the bike are in storage for the winter.
maybe photoshop to the rescue.


Nav screen size typical of a old design.

So, let us hear about your roads. I already know they've got some bad potholes and you manage to snag speeding tickets. What I mean is how far, as in how many miles do you get to drive at one time to enjoy the AMG diseases you have?

not enough?
last winter i used to run back and forth to DC for work.
in normal times it was ~60 miles a day.
but occasionally longer local trips. i.e. this dealer is 80 miles form home.

I think he just goes around the block, comes home and takes a different car and goes around the block again. I think he mostly works from home.

Jerry I'll need a list. Will you have one or two SUV's are you getting rid of a vehicle? What's the total in and out of the garage...I'm lost I know nothing of the model #'s you speak of..
