Makes for interesting conversation whenever I get an X-Ray.

Also found out I wasn't Superman like I thought I was at that age!

Also, the superman part.....when I was locked up some guy had a HUGE scar from his heart to his belly button. I said wtf happened ?
He said, whenever a guy has a gun pointed at you, dont dare him to pull the trigger.
He found out he wasnt superman either

Ill see if I can find some pics of my car (back then) with the 10 bullet holes. Times are MUCH calmer now.

Yeah....that calmed me down more than anything else in my life.

These days I try to get along with everyone. It would have to be something serious to make me react.

Shame it took that happening to change me.

Try and keep up. He already told the story somewhere. And by the way, I noticed today your profile shows a join date of 2009? What were you, 12?

Let me preface this by saying it's not bragging. I did stupid stuff.

So I've probably mentioned...my dad boxed professionally. So I had gloves on when I was old enough to stand, and boxed for years with a club. About the age of 15, I got involved with Aikido and Judo...and basically stayed with it. I still teach aikido at my original school.

But I was never scared of an altercation. Add in the genetics I had for the gym, and I had a pretty formidable reputation in certain circles and bad crowds.

But I had only had a gun pulled on me once, and I called the guy everything in the book because he didn't shoot. I even took the gun from him.

Fast forward about a month, me and a group of friends are at a bowling alley with some girls. One guy there who had too much to drink was hitting on the girls. I was putting on my shoes, picked out a ball, and as I started back to our group....I told the guy to just give it up.

He pushes me, so I just dropped the 12lb ball I was holding onto his feet. He was bending down and I caught him with an uppercut. That was it. I was never a person that would continue a fight if the person was down....I'm not sadistic.

They kicked him out as he instigated it all.

Next night....we go back to the same place. When we were leaving that night, he was waiting outside for me and shot me in the front left pelvic area from about 6ft away. It knocked my leg completely out from under me.

They caught him and he did time. But the doctors told me that there were so many nerves in that area, digging around to remove the bullet could leave me with a permanent limp.

So we let it stat....had an x-ray about 2 months later to make sure it wasn't moving, but by then it had formed scar tissue around it

After that....no more fights for me. I would even walk away from a verbal argument. It wasn't that I was scared....it was that I realized how precious life is and how petty stuff like that wasn't worth it to prove you are a tough guy.

There is always someone tougher than you....and then there are crazy people.

Now I mind my own business.

The AMG GLE 63 coupe has really caught my eye. No experience with MB. I was at the dealer last week and saw the new X6. Not loving it. It was love at first sight when I saw the E71 X6. Not thrilled with 2nd generation styling but tech and transmission are better so I got used to looks. Don’t know if 3rd generation will grow on me. That ass and grill are a bit much. The MB looks sweet but I don’t know about switching teams. I miss my ‘13 X6 ///M every single day. What a beast. Except for the rattle from the rear console. Might have to cross to the dark side and do a test drive.

someone should make an "I got shot" thread

My father had a MB GL450 for a few years (I nicknamed it the hearse) and I can honestly say the Mercedes Benz stigma is even worse than the BMW one, at least around here. He had people intentionally cutting him off in traffic, trying to hit him, etc. It was crazy! He isn't an aggressive driver either. The service was excellent from the dealer though.

He currently drives a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk but plans on going with a Grand Cherokee Overland Summit or X5M next.

Hey, you'll still be welcome here by me at least. I drive an Audi and haven't had a BMW since 2012 and I'm still here. Just because it is fun. I could be considered an interloper by some.

The driving feel is more important to me than the styling. I'm not so concerned about the brand stigma, I get that now. I feel BMW has watered down some aspects to cater to the masses. I miss that stiff, tight feel (here comes Now Rudy). I have heard from others that MB is cushier than BMW and their infotainment and nav suck. We'll see. I also hate the electric steering but I guess that is now across all brands.

There was one that parked a few spaces down from me at my previous building, and I always thought that it was trying hard to be an X6, and falling short. But with the icky styling (I would say "over-styling") of the current G05/06 I actually think that GLE63 is a much better looking vehicle.

The G05/06 look like they were designed by a Las Vegas hairdresser. There's just way too much going on, too many chaotic and disconnected visual elements.

Great, we get a confession about switching teams but it's not the kind we want.

One of the coolest destinations to travel actually, its fascinating how mother nature is taking back what is hers.
Was basically inspired to visit by the old game "Stalker" to see that live - but hey, I would stay out of Fukushima though
