Do I see a lot of CLS out here...lol...every block....hahaha. AMGs in Southern CA are like pick-up trucks in farm country. Its a joke...I think 60% of all AMG are sold from the two local dealerships here. I'm guessing 25% of this forum is local to me.

As and far as this not being a track car? Yea...everyone kind of tells me that...:bs :
I personally have enjoyed reading about your story......I get to live vicariously through you haha..
I just don't have that much ambition/desire I guess, of which it takes both...
keep sharing

So Freefall - Hats off, man. Do your thing with your track car!
Thank you my friend. This is simply about having fun...not looking to make a living at this and you know what? People really love seeing this car out there running....and you should see the riot when I volunteer to drive for a school trip...

Getting back on topic - Has anyone been able to find the Pilot Super Sport in 2553519's and 2853019's? I've tried a few places and they were out of stock, replaced by the hideous AS.

WTF???
