It was silver with the aero package. Looked pretty sweet for the 1 second I saw it from the opposite direction.

I was heading south. I passed it going north around Alamo probably at 1:30pm.

That's what I thought, but it didn't look like it was satin wrapped. However, it was in passing so maybe it was.

Nope, not me. Mine has no Aero Pkg.

The satin, interestingly enough, isn't as noticeable from a distance as I thought. It's quite an interesting look. It sometimes looks sparkly, too, especially up close. In sunlight, obviously, it won't have the glossy shine, though.

I'm only aware of one other Iridium Silver BS in NorCal, and it does have the Aero Pkg, so it's likely that one. The others I know of are a Diamond White with Aero, and two Matte Blacks, both with Aero. Oddly enough, I think mine's the only 2013 on the road in NorCal. Not that I care, but it's an interesting tidbit.

Wait, no, I'm aware of six, actually. There's a second 2013 that Autobahn Motors in Belmont had sold. I tried getting that one, but it was definitely spoken for.

So you are the only non Aero? It makes identifying you easier!

How many other bay area guys are on MBWorld?

I guess I am, yeah. At least, these are the ones I've accounted for. There may be a couple others in the area that I'm not aware of. But, we're a rare bunch...

As for others on MBWorld, I believe at least one or two are on here. They're a bit more active on the AMG PL than on here, though.

At some point, we'll all get together at an AMG meet or something.

Yeah. Was trying to be intentionally vague. Not sure why. It was late, I was exhausted, heh.
