the drive was pretty cool ! Reminiscent of the Santiago Canyon drive we had a few months back (Doug & Orlando were there !)
Glad to see my wanna-be AMG Coupe could keep up ! My RENNTECH hp/torque upgrade came through... Really enjoyed that 57 to 60 curved merge... took that turn at 90 (DREW, it felt like you were standing still when I passed you on that curve )

Drew was standing still. He was still pissed at himself he bought a flat hood badge for $1149, when he found out later that day how much it really costs.

My $1149 hood badge slowed me down... Thank you for everything

good buy !! and $30 off MSRP !

Seriously, those that couldn't make it, you missed a great meet !!
I drove 120 miles (each way) and heard too many excuses from others that it was TOO far. Gotta love what you drive

By the way, DREW took roll-call, and those that signed up on the list, and didn't show will have to face the wrath of the CROWS !!!

hope you didnt leave them in your car. ewww, my car stunk just from the drive home with the leftovers sitting in there for the couple hours we were chilling in the parking lot after dinner. we should have taken a pic of the coupes with the 1.8, 2.3 and 3.2 engines. that was pretty interesting.
