| My Gwagen is gone
It is with a heavy heart I must tell all of you that my 2016 Gwagen is gone.
It only had 34,800 miles on it after 9 years.
Yes, gone to the salvage yard.
On Wednesday after lunch a fatal accident occurred that caused the G550 to die a permeant death.
Had I been in anything other than a Gwagen I would be in the hospital, but I walked away unhurt, not even a scratch.
However, there is a bright side to the story, I am in the process of getting a new 2025 G550 with the l6 engine.

My 2025 arrives this coming week.
The G550's will no longer have the V8s
All 2025 and newer have the l6 engine,
Partial hybrid 48-volt system plus 12volts for lights.
48-volt Electric motor driven AC
48-volt Electric motor driven water pump and ramp up turbo to stop turbo lag.
No belts! |
