Where do you live that see's a fair amount of trauma? I find the field fascinating from the point of Medicine and have been in a good number of trauma rooms.

Docs CLS

I had a chance to meet up with traumadoc while he was in town to see his CLS on these new Vellanos. To put it lightly, it's probably the hottest CLS of all time. Really nice guy too, he ended taking me for my first ride in a 55K car. Let's just say I now know why you guys refer to these cars as "beasts" lol.

Photos.

OK.

Couldn't lower the car.

The new wheels were too large to fit in the alignment machine and they would not lower it without being able to align it.

Nonetheless, we are here on a little road trip and I brought the camera and the cable to upload.

Will try to get some photos on the Blue Ridge Parkway and upload them later.

Off to see David Sanborn in concert later.......
