This is no ordinary car and that is why the man had to bring out a bottle of wine to sip with his bae- the AMG GTS.
You can't be mad at this level of stunting. A Mercedes Benz is more than a car, it is a power statement. And when you have an AMG GTS, you are just telling everyone that you are loaded.
