Its a beast. A little detached driving wise with the electronic brakes and steering but great power and handling. I always loved waving at people with the pop-up airbrake/spoiler lol..

been in one but never got to drive it..

Yeah, about 6 months after I started I ran their internet department, did marketing/advertising stuff, sold, and did all delivery presentations. It was a great way to meet some great people.. You sound a little skeptical, I don't blame you, but I take a lot of pride in what I do and I had to work really hard to even get to that point so quickly.

I saw a black SLR a few months ago on Biscayne Blvd. I thought that I could take him but that thing is crazy fast.

....just have to be skeptical about a 19 year old running a business where most the cars cost more than he would make in 5 years or so. not to mention you would think you would own better cars if you were a manager of a high end exotic lot(nothing wrong with your cars but they out of place on a high end exotic lot).sorry man, im one of those guys, im just a skeptic....nothing personal man.

welcome to the family, what are the plans for the gs?

hey i understand. It is what it is. The place was a smaller independent place with an owner who was cheap and selfish. what can i say. thats why i don't work for him anymore.

ANYWAY, thanks for the welcome. Plans are just to keep doing my research and hopefully find a nice set wheels, some suspension tweaks, and enjoy it for a little while until I finish school and then who knows.
