A new 2010 E63 AMG in the driveway....

Not mine though...its my employer's. He got the AMG performance package which gives a 186 mph top end vs. the limited 155 mph of the "standard" AMG. I got a ride in it today and all Ican sayis...wow!!. I cannot wait to get a chance to drive that beast.

He is my employer and he deserves a $125,000.00 car, but now I know why I don't get very many paid holidays. Its time to start building my own empire and buy one of those suckers!

How many other cars does he own and how much do they cost......

Pretty much every AMG I see around here on the road is being driven by an aggressive-driving jerk in a suit.....who has a spiked hair cut with enough oil in it to cause a flash fire.

I can't guarantee I would not drive like a jerk if I had one, but I'd at least not look like one.

In fact, I just saw what I just described on Monday afternoon, the guy was driving a Black CLS 63 AMG.....

I think he's referring to the "Tool Look" ala mobster esque formal, and Ed Hardy casual.

Like the Gottie Tool Bags and Jon Goselin






That is not style. Get some Brooks Brothers, maybe Gucci if you want to be a bit edgy.

Ahh the NY/NJ look. Know that type well. Usualy you can spot them with poped collars in BMW M3's.

I prefer Brooks Brothers or Zenga, but these days I don't need to wear much beyond Carhartt.

http://www.zegna.com/

Gucci is to popular, I prefer real Italian sport jackets.
