Woman charged with fraud involving elderly victim A Stone Mountain woman was arrested Dec. 4 on two counts of identity fraud and two counts of exploitation of a disabled or elderly person. Authorities say Jastacia Latrice Green was employed at Bellmonte Senior Assisted Living in Forsyth County where she is alleged to have obtained credit card information from an 80-year-old woman, then made purchases on the card. The owner of the card told authorities that she’d seen the charges but did not make them. Investigators from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office determined a total of $304 in charges were made from Aug. 4 to Aug. 26 of this year. The alleged victim’s age constitutes the additional charges because she was in Green’s care at the time the purchases were made. Green is out on $13,660 bond.

Library renovation receives rave reviews By DENISE RAY denise@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — The Cumming branch of the Forsyth County Public Library unveiled its new look on Dec. 6 to glowing reviews. “We did it in pieces,” Denise Leeson, Cumming Branch manager said. “We’ll be changing furniture and doing some other things.” The branch closed Oct. 14, according to Steve Kight, Forsyth County Public Library deputy director. The 20-year old building experienced its last update about 10 to 15 years ago. “I know everyone else thought it was lovely, but we wanted to redo the shelving to make it more inviting, and when you do one of those things and you have to close, you might as well get all of it done,” Leeson said. New carpet, fresh paint and a re-positioning of furniture created a different look that patrons found inviting, pleasant and more comfortable. The worn and soiled carpet was a result of “thousands and thousands of steps,” Leeson conjectured. “It cost about $300,000,” Leeson explained. “Construction costs are high and it’s a huge building.” Funding for the spruce-up came from grant funding and savings from being very frugal, Leeson said. There was a brief delay in the unveiling due to a delay in the delivery of carpet and molding. Changes in the children’s area included an entirely new configuration including a new arrangement of shelving which is more interesting visually and helps with the flow. “The shelving invites you in to grab your new book,” Leeson said. It also helps define areas, including the teen area which about doubled in size and now offers more study tables in addition to new high-top tables and chairs. “We’re very excited to offer more space for that age group,” Leeson said. One big difference throughout the building is additional windows, windows that people never knew were there, Leeson said. “I like the update and the angled shelving and the windows for the natural

light,” Joanie Goforth said. “I really like how the tables are now. The arrangement is more conducive to families coming in to sit and read together or study.” Goforth was there with her son, Samuel. The pair are frequent visitors to the library. Samuel made himself at home in the lap of the oversized stuffed bear while his mom read a boardbook. The Goforths were joined by another mother-son pair of frequent library visitors, Artie Kennemore, 2, and his mother, Aimee. “I like it, it looks really nice,” Aimee said. “We used to come all the time before the renovation, we were excited to come back.” Other parts of the building’s transformation include the bookstore which will open by the beginning of January, and new tiles in the restrooms, Leeson said.

Triplets, from left, Tyree, Tyrese and Tyzi stopped to grab a photo with Santa before beginning to shop at Walmart Dec. 10, which also happened to be their third birthday.
Kids and cops join forces to scout out holiday gifts By DENISE RAY denise@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — The 24th Annual Cops and Kids event took place on Tuesday, Dec. 10th at Cumming Walmart. Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Cpl. Doug Rainwater said 190 children participated in this year’s event. Members of several law enforcement agencies helped Forsyth County’s youngest community members as part of the Fraternal Order of Police event. The officers were on their own time and some had their spouses tag along for the fun. This was the largest group of children doing some holiday shopping on the chilly evening in what Rainwater described as a “proud tradition of serving the less fortunate in our community and making a difference in a child’s life.” “Wal-Mart is very proud to do this,” Cody Hurley, Wal-Mart store manager said. “We’re happy to provide an opportunity for kids to have Christmas and to give back.”
Each child, energized by hot cocoa and a sugar cookie, had $100 to spend while officers kept a running tab. Many posed for a quick photo with Santa and then hit the sales floor. For mom Tara Scott, it was a group effort with 3-year old identical triplet boys Tyree, Tyrese and Tyzi and Forsyth deputies Justin Covington and George Brooks. Scott had the boys, dressed in identical outfits, in a wagon. “I’m scared to let them out [of the wagon],” she said. Brooks, a two-time participant, said the event “warms his heart.” Covington took it all in stride; this was his third year to participate in the event. “It’s a great feeling knowing they’ll have a happy Christmas,” he said pushing the shopping cart. “It makes me have a merry Christmas.” As for Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman, he’ll have a merry Christmas, too. “You’re still on the ‘Good List,’ Santa told him as they posed for a photo.

THANK YOU
U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson
Santa and his elf greet the crowd with smiles and waves while aboard a 1937 aerial fire truck at the 2019 Cumming Christmas Parade. Spectators lined the streets to catch some holiday cheer in the blustery weather, then roamed to the Cumming Fairgrounds for a holiday festival.
Christmas parades into Cumming By DENISE RAY denise@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Crowds packed both sides of the route Dec. 7 for the 2019 Cumming Christmas Parade. Floats, marching bands, politicians and dancers made their way from Forsyth Central High School to the Cumming Fairgrounds. Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard led the parade, under the direction of Lt. Hideki Coulter. Sara Berg was on hand to photograph her husband Forsyth County Sheriff’s Deputy Oliver Berg. The Marietta native anxiously awaited the start of the procession, saying her husband of just over one year would be carrying the U.S. flag and was respectful of the duty that came with the opportunity.
See PARADE, Page 9
Senator Johnny Isakson is retiring at the end of this year after 40+ years in public service to Georgia. He was first elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1976 and served seven terms (the last four serving as Minority Leader). He was then elected to the Georgia Senate in 1992 before replacing Newt Gingrich in the US House of Representatives in 1999 representing the 6th Congressional District. In 2004 he would go on to win the election to replace Zell Miller in the US Senate where he would be re-elected in 2010 and 2016. Isakson has long been an advocate for bi-partisanship, reaching across the aisle to his Democratic colleagues to further the best interests of Georgia. He has also long been an advocate for the veterans’ rights, the free press and Georgia’s newspaper industry and for that, we at Appen Media Group thank him for a lifetime of service and wish him well in this next chapter of his life.

Continued from Page 8 “He doesn’t take being in the honor guard lightly,” she said. “It’s important to him that he does it properly. He wants to make sure he does it right.” Instead of his traditional reindeerpulled sleigh, Santa and his elf were aboard a 1937 aerial fire truck, extending his jolly “ho, ho, ho” greeting. Bands marched in unison with shiny brass instruments, while woodwinds and not-so little drummer boys and girls kept members in synch. Attendees waved and darted for candy, amply tossed by parade participants. Bethany Rogers brought her sons and sister to the parade. “My sister’s here from Statesboro, so we decided to get a little Cumming Christmas cheer,” Rogers said as her sons John, 4, and Kevin, 6, sprinted for mini KitKat bars. “My husband’s home watching the game.” “I like KitKats, but he likes [Hershey’s] kisses better,” explained Kevin about the preferences of sweets among siblings.

in the parade during their Bark & Boogie Ball back in October,” said Crystal Ledford, public information assistant for the city. “The Mogilinedi family won, so Ethan, 12, Kyra 8 and
mom, Crystal, rode with the mayor on Saturday. The mayor gave the kids the choice between riding the police golf cart or the Tow Mater or Lightning McQueen, “Cars”-themed golf carts, and they chose the Police Department cart.” Meanwhile Sheriff Ron Freeman waved and tossed candy from the department’s BearCat armored vehicle. This is the second year the city has hosted the parade, Ledford said. “The city picked it up because adding new family-friendly events that the entire community could come out and do together has been one of Mayor Brumbalow’s major goals since he began his campaign for mayor,” she said. “Adding the festival at the Fairgrounds after the parade was totally the mayor’s idea, as that is something that was not done even when the city presented the parade way back when.” Vendors and a Christmas light display welcomed parade participants at the fairground. Festivities culminated with a tree lighting ceremony and photos with Santa. The city partnered with The Place of Forsyth County asking those in attendance to bring new, unwrapped gifts for children ages infant to 18-years old. Donations will go to “Holiday House,” the nonprofit’s annual event assisting local families.

Public Safety
Law enforcement agencies provide holiday safety tips By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — The holidays are fast approaching, but it’s no reason for people to let their guard down. Some crimes become more common while people enjoy their time off. Phone scams are one example. “Scams are very prevalent at any time of the year, but during the holidays, we need to be on an even higher alert,” said Roswell Police Public Information Officer Sean Thompson. “Most people are in a ‘giving’ mood, therefore, scammers will likely play to that.” Thompson suggests vetting charities before donating. One sign of a legitimate charity, Thompson said, is a secure website with an “https://” in the address and a padlock symbol. People should also avoid providing Social Security numbers or bank account information over the phone. “Remember, no one, not even ‘law enforcement’ or the ‘Social Security Administration’ will ask you of this information,” Thompson said. “We have had a bunch of reports in Roswell where someone is calling claiming to be from the Social Security Administration.” Shopping and traveling are two other
areas where certain crimes may increase around the holidays. Alpharetta Department of Public Safety Public Affairs Officer Sgt. Howard Miller said that as a general rule, to be aware of your surroundings and keep track of credit card notices. “Beware of strangers approaching you for any reason,” Miller said. “This time of year, criminals will try various methods to distract you with the intention of stealing purses and other belongings… Shop during daylight hours, if possible. If you must shop at night, do so with a friend or family member.” As people migrate online for holiday gift shopping, package thefts from cars and porches tend to increase this time of year as well, he said. Some ways to minimize the risks, Thompson said, is to avoid placing empty packaging or boxes by the curb, because it can signal what you have to a potential thief. Instead, people can break down the packaging or use a recycling facility. And residents should ensure mail and packages don’t pile up while they are away for the holidays, Thompson said. “Traveling equals time away from our homes,” Thompson said. “If available,
have someone check your home daily for mail and packages. If no one is available, leave some sort of lights on and contact the USPS to hold mail. If you’re expecting any packages, change the delivery to an office pick up.” Other tips include securing homes and cars before leaving. “Holidays are extremely busy, and our minds can be in a million different places,” Thompson said. “But taking simple steps can prevent us from becoming victims.” For those traveling over the holidays, local law enforcement agencies provide some security and peace of mind with a vacation watch. The Roswell Police Department requires residents to fill out an online form at roswellgov.com. The department also puts up alerts about scams or crime sprees in the city on its social media pages. The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety offers similar services for residents at p2c.alpharetta.ga.us/p2c and on its social media pages. The Johns Creek Police Department likewise offers vacation patrols, which citizens can request through the police to citizen portal at p2c.johnscreekga.gov. Milton residents can sign up for a vacation watch online at cityofmiltonga.us.

American Commerce Bank employees Pat Thomas and Karen Chavarria promote Health Savings Accounts.
Health Savings Accounts are a great deal Local banks succeed as their communities succeed. American Commerce Bank makes it a priority to champion banking products that benefit business and retail customers. A Health Savings Account or “HSA” is a tax-advantaged savings vehicle that can be used to pay qualified health-related expenses with pre-tax dollars. For calendar year 2020, individuals can contribute as much as $3,550 to an HSA, families can contribute $7,100—and there’s even a $1,000 “catch-up” provision for individuals 55 and over. Health savings accounts are available to individuals and families who are enrolled in high-deductible health plans (HDHPs). True to their name, high-deductible plans come with higher out-ofpocket expenses than other insurance offerings. HDHPs set a maximum limit on the amount a covered person could need to pay for care during a plan year. With out-of-pocket maximums set at $6,900 for self-coverage HDHPs in 2020, there’s no doubting that consumers need all the help they can get in accumulating savings to cover planned and unplanned expenses. HSAs offer three tax benefits: 1. Contributions are tax deductible: Like a 401(k), you contribute pre-tax
dollars, which reduces taxable income. 2. Earnings grow tax-free: Investment earnings on HSA contributions are not taxed. 3. Withdraws are tax-free so long as they’re used to cover qualified medical expenses. You can find a list of qualified expenses on the IRS’s website. Unlike a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), participants can open an HSA at any time during the year, change contribution rates or even invest a single lump sum. Money contributed to an HSA has no expenditure time limit. Funds not used during the contribution year can build over time, and contributions can be added from different income sources. This makes the HSA particularly valuable as a secondary retirement savings vehicle. How do HSAs benefit employers? By offering a tax-advantaged HSA plan, a business provides its employees with a convenient way to accumulate pre-tax medical savings, and the employer can make its own contributions to these accounts as part of an overall benefit plan. Still not convinced? Here’s one more benefit: Once you turn 65, money can be withdrawn from an HSA for reasons other than health care, though such distributions will likely be taxable. For more information or to open a Health Savings Account, stop by our office located at 10690 Medlock Bridge Road, or visit www.AmericanCommerceBank.com.

We saw a demand that was being unmet for a luxury community for empty nesters who don’t want a mortgage. Dave Dixon, project manager, One Street Residential

55+ apartment community opens on Medlock Bridge By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The small number of for-rent apartments in Johns Creek increased by 140 units this year with the opening of EVOQ Town Flats, a 4-floor community aimed at downsizers. The developers say the property fills a niche in the housing market. “We saw a demand that was being unmet for a luxury community for empty nesters who don’t want a mortgage,” said Dave Dixon, the project manager with One Street Residential. “They want the freedom and flexibility of leasing, and they’re not ready for an assisted living community.” The initial idea for the project came about in 2015. Through finding financial backing, legal battles with the city and designing the complex, it was a long road to get here. Dixon said they went through more than 50 site plans. “This was our dream, but we didn’t know what it would look like,” Dixon said. The 6.6-acre property on the corner of Medlock Bridge Road and Bell Road almost became a funeral home in 2014. In 2015, the owner presented initial plans for the active adult complex, which were rejected because of a proposed 6-floor height. The next year, the developers came back with a compromise — a scaled down, 4-story plan —which passed with a 5-2 vote. Council members Lenny Zaprowski and Stephanie Endres voted against the decision. “Why we had a rough and tumble start, it’s really how you finish that matters, and it’s clear they’ve finished strong,” Mayor Mike Bodker said at the grand opening. “I wish them nothing but the best.”
NSW NORTHSIDE WOMAN
Dave Dixon, the project manager with One Street Residential, says the grand opening is a celebration of five years of hard work.
Johns Creek’s 2018 Comprehensive Plan named expanding senior housing options an objective of the city. The document states that about 19 percent of the city’s population is baby boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964. That number is expected to decline as they move out of family-style homes. “If only 20 percent of the city’s current baby boomer population wanted to stay and downsize within the city, approximately 3,000 more housing units (active adult and senior) will need to be developed over the next decade,” the plan states. EVOQ draws a distinction between itself and other active adult and senior communities in the area. “When people hear 55 and up, they think 75 and up,” said Melanie Poole, the property manager. “They think daytime activities like bingo. That’s not what we are. We’re for adults without children

who don’t want a house, or didn’t get the house [in their divorce], and want to stay in the area where their friends are.” EVOQ Town Flats offers one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging from around $1,500 to $3,100 a month. All apartments come with a patio and washer and dryer. The complex includes a heated pool, fitness room, dog groomers and concierge service. EVOQ began leasing in October. In the spring, a new restaurant, The Dutch, will open on the first floor of EVOQ. The restaurant is a new concept from the owners of Dutch Monkey Donuts in Cumming. The husband and wife team of Arpana Satyu-Burge and Martin Burge said the restaurant will offer donuts and coffee, similar to their existing location, as well as European-style fries and soft serve ice cream. “There are few things in South Forsyth I’m jealous of, but Dutch Monkey Donuts is one of them,” Mayor Bodker said. “I’m excited The Dutch is opening here.”

Year is over, and we still need more houses Another year has passed and we still do not have enough houses for everyone that wants them. In fact, 91 percent of the market right now is under-supplied. Data just reGeoff smith leased from Smart Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com Real Estate Data, a leading tracker of data for the Metro Atlanta residential industry, shows that inventory of houses on the market in relation to those that need them is still in an unhealthy place. Housing inventory is measured in the months it is estimated it would take for buyers to buy all of the houses currently listed on the market. It’s called months of supply, and real estate experts say that six months of supply is deemed healthy for the economy. If there are more than six months of supply, then it’s a buyer’s market and housing prices will drop. If there are less than six months of supply, then it’s a seller’s market and housing prices will rise. According to Smart’s data, 91 percent of the homes in the metro area are under the sixmonth mark.
This low inventory has been exacerbating problems for those looking for lower-priced houses as land, building regulations and materials have made homebuilding too expensive for builders to be able to build anything and sell it for under $300,000 in the metro area. So, with builders not building inventory and demand growing as more people move to Atlanta, prices have risen more in this price-range than most others. Inventory for anything under $300,000 is dangerously low, currently sitting at just over two months. According to Smart’s data, months of supply goes up for more expensive houses. And up until last June, the equilibrium point (the point at which you get that healthy six months of supply) was right at $600,000. Right now, Smart’s numbers show that the price point has moved up to $800,000. Part of that can be attributed to it being winter, and most people sell their houses in the summer. So basically, if your house is priced under $600,000, it is likely that your home value will continue to increase. And the further you go below $600,000, the faster it will increase. If it is over $800,000, you may actually see a decrease – especially if your
home is priced over $1.5 million where there is currently 16 months of supply. The good news is that supply did indeed improve this year. The average months of supply for detached homes for all markets increased a bit from about 3.1 months to about 3.25 months. For attached homes, condos and townhomes, inventory levels increased significantly. Rising from about 2.25 months to 3 months of supply. The metro area has matured in that there are very few large tracts available for builders to buy and build large neighborhoods like they used to. So instead, they are buying smaller tracts and building up. The metro area’s population has grown by at least 75,000 a year for the last eight years. It has created almost as many jobs. If it keeps going at this pace, then it will be hard for builders to catch up, especially in the lower-priced markets. If we do get into a recession, it could slow job creation down and actually help cool our low-inventory problem. But more and more, economists are backing off the sentiment that we are headed toward a steep recession. Atlanta’s economy seems to continually improve. And even if we did drop
into a recession, that could mean more relations to the Atlanta area, which has a lower cost of living than most other major metropolitan cites, and a highly elevated technology and transportation network. If the metro area is to continue to grow, it will have to figure out how to house everyone that is going to keep moving here. It’s a good problem to have. Certainly much better than the other problem, where so many people are leaving cities that have too many houses on the market. The fact is, there is never really any balance, and it would be boring if all markets were right at the healthy six months of supply. So as rivers erode mountains, so must we try to balance the housing industry.

Good onboarding plan primes new employees for productive start
dick jones
Founder & President Jones Simply Sales
Are you hiring a lot of new employees? Recruiting, interviewing and hiring new employees takes a lot of time, but once they are hired, you need to get them productive as quickly as possible. Having a good onboarding plan and process is a
necessity for all small business owners. Onboarding is the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and behaviors to become effective contributors for your small business. Onboarding typically starts with an orientation session where new employees become familiar with the standard operating procedures of the company. Formal meetings, combined with selfstudy tools using print material, videos and computer-based methods can be
used to ensure each new employee fully understands how the company operates. Making the onboarding process fun and interactive is a great way to engage new employees and make them feel like a part of your organization. While everyone wants their new hires to be productive quickly, the best onboarding programs are not conducted in a few days, but carefully planned over weeks and even months. Conveying too much information at one time reduces
the retention levels and often leads to having to review the material again. Research has concluded that a strong onboarding process leads to better job performance, higher levels of job satisfaction, a stronger commitment to the organization, better retention and a significant reduction in the stress associated with taking a new job. Preparing, planning and executing a good onboarding program will ensure you get the most out of your new employees.

Students preserve wildlife, one bug-a-doodle at a time By DENISE RAY denise@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County has a new group of entrepreneurs whose hearts are focused on the environment, not the bottom line. “It is a student-run business, facilitated by teachers,” Laura Fedorchuk, gifted teacher at Kelly Mill Elementary School, said. “They all have great ideas, one-onone interviews allow each student an opportunity to speak up,” Fedorchuk said. “After interviews, students are placed in roles based on wishes and abilities.” Fifth graders said they felt the business needed a leadership team to take some tasks off teachers, said Stephanie Sumner, KMES gifted teacher. “They said ‘we can do this,’ so we let them,” Sumner said. “We facilitate, we step out and let them run with it.” Offering products like “sugar scrubs,” “kindness cars” and “bug-adoodles,” students in Kelly Mill Elementary School’s Gifted Children’s Program have taken their business online to raise awareness of the precarious situation of the Monarch butterfly. Fifth grader Nolan Lancaster, 10, suggested the name that has become the brand, Scribble It Kids. The third, fourth and fifth graders interview for positions within the various components — sales/R&D, shipping, leadership, design, marketing and production — of Scribble It Kids. With a varied, “be kind” product line, sales are growing. Kayden Sell, 9, explained bug-adoodles as small “pebbles” hand-painted in a variety of designs. The “Decemberr-r-r” collection, which features coldweather images, was created by Molly Shadburn. Bug-a-doodles are featured as “Be Kind to Others.” Flower sprouters are “small little balls that have clay and dirt and flower seeds which can be planted in your yard,” explained fourth grader Allorah Gideon. The resulting flowers are favorites of Monarch butterflies. The sprouters are part of the “Be Kind to the Earth” component. A third product is kindness cars which are Matchbox cars painted to look like bug-a-doodles. The tiny vehicles can be raced or collected, Brielle Corcimiglia, fourth grader said. Will Hart, another fourth grader, described the use of sugar scrubs as a great way to get clean, soft hands. The scrubs contain sugar, scent and mica powder which provides color, fifth grader Eli Brackett explained. Another personal care item is bath bombs which come in adult and child varieties. Sugar scrubs
are considered “Be Kind to Yourself” and “Be Kind to Others” products because they make great gifts. Kid soaps have a toy encased within the soap and come in fun colors and scents. Adult soaps look and smell sophisticated, said Sumner. Scribble It Kids began in 2018 when Sumner wanted to teach about products, sales marketing, mission statements, money, production and STEAM. “We needed the principal’s permission so we had this great presentation showing products and then he decided, so now we are at the place we are today,” student Justin Marshall said. All components of the business fit standards, Sumner said, and the students get real-world experiences offered through interviews and participating in the various sections. The logo was developed by the marketing group. The students also learned an important lesson regarding product names. The research team did a patent search and discovered a problem with using “bug-a-boos.” “The reason they’re called bug-adoodles,” student Sawyer Ronn explained. “There was already a product out that had the name bug-a-boo, it was like a stroller.” The products have been sold around the school very successfully. Each purchase comes with a kindness card. “We have a building of 1,300, and we go through these [bug-a-doodles],” Sumner laughed. “Nothing sells as much as bug-a-doodles and soaps, though.” In fact, sales are so great that the students decided to take their products to the world. The grant-funded, student-built website went live early this month, and the first three online orders — from California, Tennessee and Georgia — have been filled. Fifth graders built it and continue to run it. Tests for timing, packaging and speedy delivery were conducted prior to fulfilling orders. When the fifth graders move on to middle school and leave their business, they’re not worried. “Kids in lower grades [third and fourth] will take the business on,” Marshall said. “Second graders want to join the business,” Sumner said. Currently, third graders are the youngest members. The students have established gardens at the school where they grow milkweed, a butterfly favorite, and butterfly bushes. Students will be on break from midDecember to early January and have been working on inventory for lots of new orders.

LEFT LANE REVIEWS
OPINION
The do-it-all supercar When a car has a commanding presence, serious performance pedigree and starting price of $160,000, you expect, no, demand, it be something special. With its striking looks, neck-snapJOE PARKER ping performance, Editor joe@appenmediagroup.com luxurious feel and enough room to ride comfortably with three passengers, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is absolutely, unequivocally, extraordinary. Its figures begin to tell the tale. Under the aggressively sculpted hood is a 4.0-liter, bi-turbo V8 offering 630 horsepower and 664 lb.-ft. of torque. The power plant is paired with a nine-speed automatic and AMG-tuned 4MATIC allwheel drive, rocketing the 4,400-pound five-seater from 0-60 in just over three seconds and on to an electronically controlled top speed of 195 mph. This is a V8 that, if it could, would be into BDSM. It doesn’t want you to be gentle. It wants you to mash the right pedal deep into the firewall. It wants all
2019 Mercedes Benz AMG GT 63 S your right foot has, and it lets you know when you have done it right with gratifying barks and roars from the exhaust. It’s seeming masochism could explain why the 63 S is among the dying breed of cars in which you can plug in a cigarette lighter. The GT has impressive performance figures, for sure, but where it really shines is in the way it is able to harness all of its size and power into what Mercedes has accurately called a 4-door supercar. The big boy GT carves corners with the aplomb of cars that struggle to hold an overnight bag. In Sport or Sport+ mode, the 63 S is perfectly balanced through corners with firm and accurate steering. The engine response out of corners is swift and punchy, and the enormous 15.4inch compound front brake rotors (14.2 in the rear) with 6-piston fixed calipers quickly brings the GT to an eye-popping but controlled stop. Above all, the 63 S inspires confi-
dence for those behind the wheel. And that was a good thing considering I really put it to the test on one-lane, tree-lined mountain roads with so many switchbacks and elevation changes my liver ended up somewhere near my kneecap. AMG’s Ride Control suspension, adaptive damping system and limited slip differential kept the GT square to the road while the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires (even grippier Pilot Sport Cup 2 are also an option) stuck to the pavement without any chirpy protest. There are paddle shifters to control the nine-speed automatic, but at no point did I feel I needed to intervene. The transmission kept the revs high in the range and was quick to change down when the situation called for it. Adding to the experience was the aural sensation of the growling, popping V8 being piped through AMG’s performance exhaust system breaking up the serenity of the surrounding woodlands. Thrashing around the mountain roads and letting the GT continually surprise me with its performance was certainly a memorable experience. But perhaps what makes the AMG even more remarkable is the fact that I was enjoying supercar-like performance with a car seat base secured to the back seat. I did not subject my infant daughter to the GT’s immense power, but if you want to scare the bejesus out of a few friends, the 63 S can not only accommodate them, it can do so with style and panache. For everyday driving, the GT is quiet and comfortable. The optional 21-inch wheels on my tester did not make for the smoothest of rides over bumps, but otherwise the ride was smooth and relaxed. The GT’s interior is lavish, gorgeous and modern. Covering much of the dash are two, 12.3-inch screens, one working as a tasteful and attractive instrument cluster, while the second screen serves as the display for the infotainment system. The center stack houses the digital, push-button controls for exhaust and driving modes, and Mercedes’ touchpad for its COMAND system. The touchpad is a bit tough to use, the COMAND system can lag at times, but there are still but-
tons to navigate from screen to screen and commonly used controls, such as climate control, can still be altered outside with analog buttons. The interior of my tester was also wrapped in soft optional Nappa leather with grey ash wood trim and a supple DINAMICA headliner. The GT is spacious and comfortable as is, but buyers can opt for massaging seats, a Burmester 3-D surround sound system, rapid heating front seats with heated armrests and the Energizing Comfort Package. The system uses pre-programmed functions that control music, temperature, massage programs, lighting and cabin air fragrance depending on what mood takes you. On the outside, my tester came with an optional carbon fiber wing, front splitter and side inserts. The GT is handsome, slightly menacing and its contours and oversized grille command attention, but it doesn’t sport “look at me” styling. But forget being an introvert and owning one. The GT garnered attention everywhere I went, from the man who approached me in a parking lot to tell me the AMG was the “most futuristic” looking car he had ever seen, to the woman who rolled down her window and flashed a thumbs up while I was behind her in a roundabout. Helping to draw attention to my tester was the optional Brilliant Blue Magno matte paint and giant, 21-inch AMG Monoblock-style wheels. The matte paint proved to be a love-it-or-hate-it characteristic of the car, and I landed squarely in the “love” camp. Frankly, it’s easy to fall into the love camp with every aspect and characteristic of the 63 S. It has an intimidating presence in its size, aggressive looks and booming soundtrack. It can swallow a load of groceries and three passengers with ease, and it can be thrashed around corners or blitz quarter-mile times while delivering astounding, supercar performance one minute and serving as a comfortable and spacious grand tourer the next. While the AMG GT 63 S is beyond the means of most, there is no doubt it is truly a special car.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
