maybe its just me.. but the whole "artsy" attempts by many of you in taking photo's at 45 degrees is annoying... but this video with the same "artsy" angle shot just took it too far. i'm tired of having to tilt my head to look at pictures, not to mention videos.

nice startup .... but you have to learn to keep the "drift"
otherwise is just considered short lapsed skidding

Andy can provide some brief drifting/burnout input about him being the passenger of my car in an empty parking lot?

. If I remember, we circled an abandoned station wagon twice.

Jose circled around the the light pole and the wagon 2-3 times and I was surprised that the ESP didn't kick in

we'd have to do it in Kansas somewhere, so that everyone would have sort of an equi-distant road-trip.

lots of Cali peeps, lots of NYC/Boston peeps, and another big batch from Miami up to Atlanta...

The Mercedes-Benz Club of America have their annual STARFEST Meets and that attracts hundreds of Mercedes. I don't see why more new MB owners just join MBCA and piggy-back on their awesome meets. I'm a member and I attend all the San Diego Section events, and even the Orange County and Los Angeles events too when I can. If anyone wants to join MBCA, just PM me and I'll send you the info.
