some pics from Houston, TX C-spot

hey guys,

Here's a few pics for the C spot party at Houston, TX. The video is much better but i'll have to transfer and edit later. The pics give some idea of the event. Excuse the quality as I do not have Photoshop at work and using native Windows products (ack).

Does anybody at Mercedes really think we want to drive cars with 16 inch rims when 17s are available. All most as bad as including cassette players in the radios. And yes, I need a coffee cup holder!

well as u know MB is very slow at adapting what some consider industry standard in some and foremost in others...weird but thats MB for ya. I was also surprised that most of the cars had non-sport pkg, and I spoke to one of the reps there, and he stated that the event isnt really for "spirited driving" but to just simply try out there cars. Well my conclusion (and many may differ) The 4matic sux (compared to A4 quattro) and a C320coupe w/o C7 wheels/tires pkg sux as well :o

The c7, IMO, makes or breaks the car if you know what I mean.
