Thanx guys...good discussion.
Me wife IS an enthusiast actually (big reason I married her)...the 911 cab is hers, her allroad has been modded to 360+ hp and she steals my 500+ hp Rs6 whenever I'm not looking. I don't think she'll go quietly into something less of what she's already has been driving. Besides, what better yatch to haul around 2 young kids in?
Luckily I have some trump cards from being good friends with an euro-indy shop owner and a neighbor who's a parts manager for an MB dealer. And having a 97' SL600 Sport and an 02' CL600 previously puts me in the position to be ready for all that is nasty that comes with these car types.
I realize the AMG motors are pretty trustworthy...its the rest of the electronic technology junk that I wish to get feedback on.
