Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

I feel certain she will kill me over this one but I don't have a lot of control over myself.....

I told her I wanted a Sports car and she said "no, you need to stay with SUVs because that'S what you need for your work and for your bikes". So...I bought a 600 hp SUV......

My grandson and my dog.

August and Misty. She's really good with him. I took sooo many pics before I got that one. Wish the quality was a little better, but getting both of them to be still long enough for a pic is hard to do. Still, I really like this one.

Sweet, what'd you get? That's a ton of power for an SUV. I guess you'll be going sideways a bit.

I guess it's merc AMG GLE 63 S.
You're going to be dusting off very confused Porsche owners.

That's almost exactly it if you add "Coupe" at the end of the name. It is brutal and all my wife said was "I like that"...

That's funny, I had planned on getting a Porsche. I always thought the GLE Coupe looked weird but once I drove it, I knew I had to have it.

I would post pictures but I don't know how to anymore....

Yeah it will barely beat my 911 in a drag race but when a curve happens...

It can tow 7200 lbs more than your 911, plus way outperform you in snow and rain....lol...

This is a funny and pretty darn accurate review.

My favorite part is "Well, that and the standard 4Matic AWD system. Which keeps it in a straight line most of the time. If this were a rear-drive ride, you’d be going sideways as often as going forward. That is the true reason for this being an AWD-only deal".

You can skip the section about the limited 155 mph speed. I went and tested at the AMG track and received my certificate so they increased my top end to 177 mph.

That's very cool. What track did you go to?

Yep. Not a snow car plus it's a ragtop. I bought mine last spring, used 2008 with less than 10,000 miles on it. It's a real garage queen. I drive it to work about once a week and for fun on weekends. Debating weather to trade in my daily driver 2005 Acura TL for a more practical Subaru Crosstrek.

Circuit of Americas in Austin.

I'm building an MRI room. Two actually ... unless they figure out I don't know what I'm doing in Room 1.

Are you going to use oxygen free copper in the shielding?
