2004 C Spot?

Received something in the mail yesterday from mbusa.
Looks like the 2004 C spot is going to be kicked off earlier than last year's event.
anyone consider going to this year's event?!

dammit...they don't have a boston location this year

EDIT: Wonder why they didn't come back to Boston this year...maybe because not enough people went last year?

I'm going! The only thing I hate is that the MB guys are so damn **** about their cars. C-Sport doesn't even come close to BMW's Ultimate Driving Event, where they actually give you a car to drive by yourself, out on the streets for 12 miles. All MB wants you to do is drive their cars like grandpa. Scratch one cone? They kick you out.

haha. My uncle went last year and took the C320 out on the longer course for a spin. Was drifting around the cones and stuff...the guys knew he turned ESP off even though they put a piece of black tape over it

the guys were just staring at him when he got out...his buddies and the audience was just cheering and clapping :p

The C-Spot people probably made exceptions for them. I remember distinctly being warned during the orientation that if anyone hit the cones, they're out. I got kicked near the end of the day. My friend got kicked too. I guess you can say, we were fishtailing those cars like they were actually "sports" cars.
