Hey Nick, all I know is that my AMG was made buy the same guy - was it Hans or Frans? - that made your AMG.

You have to remember what separates the AMG cars from the ordinary Mercedes cars. It's not a badge on the trunk lid. It's not a special website or even a lounge with snooty drinks. It's all about the performance parts and the HAND BUILT ENGINE. Yeah. I saw the video of Hans making engines and putting his plaque on it at the end. Very cool.

Well, guess what? The same guys made all the SRT-6 engines. So that makes my car just as much an AMG as yours.

Is the guy in your picture a poser? Probably. I really doubt he's got any performance parts on that car, let alone a hand built AMG motor. But to put Crossfires in that same boat is silly.

It seems to me you've gotten a little attitude since moving over to the SLK 55 AMG. Don't make me bring my MINI to the Dragon just to put your SLK in it's place!
