Nice car.

Too bad the construction was there; I would have liked more room to play.

Hey, ChicagoX, I am that c32. I wish there was no construction too, so I had more room to be absolutely destroyed by your tuned e55! LOL! My girlfriend was in the car and she said damn that e55 destroyed you. I told her "I know, I was expecting that". Nice car bro. Keep up the tunning. My c32 is bone stock at the moment and still trying to decide whether I should go with LET or CODE3.

You would be well served with either vendor.

I chose the LET route, personally.

Any interest in the July 19 Track Day?

It was clean, silver, and fast.

He looked like he was sporting some upgraded headlamps as well.

I would love to attend the July 19 track meeting, but that exact same day I am leaving for Key West for about a week. However, I would definitely want to attend one when I get back.

If you get the chance while in Key West, you should go check out The Dry Tortugas:

$104, including PP fees.

I'm jealous of the Key West trip. Maybe I should cancel the Drag Day and have a MBworld meet on a fishing boat?

I love fishing. Fishing is not a bad idea, but I am sure the Drag Day would be a blast. You guys should get some of the runs on video:-)

Thanks, Red Bull, I will keep that in mind. I will only be there for a week, but I will try to visit as many places as possible.

If you're spending all of your week in Key West, it should be easy since the island isn't too big. Sloppy Joe's and Margaritaville are musts. Dry Tortugas is fun, and a place everyone should see at least once. It takes almost 3 hours to get there by boat from Key West, but you're there all afternoon. You can go snorkeling/scuba diving if you take the boat ride there. If you go by seaplane, it's a much shorter trip but you don't get to spend as much time at Fort Jefferson.

LOL. HAHA. Thanks, kindafast. I usually make comments on the good c32 videos. I also have followed the mb forums for about a year (ever since I got my c32). I had a LOT of problems with my c32 and thanks to you guys, I could easily find them and take care of them. It is running strong now thanks to the dealership replacing half the engine parts and front suspension, heated seats, etc. Everything under warranty. About $13,000 in repairs.
