yes i hope so too. i was looking forward to this meet all week! maybe there will be no snow next weekend, or else we are going to have to arrange an AWD/offroad meet instead.
well at least the snow makes it a good time to send in the ecu for a reflash and take advantage of the RRS for the time being.

Dilemma time...do I put on the snows or not?? My S4 should be out of the repair shop by end of the week, so essentially, I can just drive that in the crappy winter weather. Is there even a point in taking the C63 out of the garage when it's snowing?

if there is snow built up on the roads, then theres really no point. you are just gonna slide and activate the traction control whenever u step on the gas. its drivable today though. i tried taking my car out after i got home earlier and it was ok since the roads were pretty much just wet. i was in C mode though and i wasnt able to step hard on the gas at all.
i wouldnt bother with snows for the amg though. just use a different car thats better suited for the limited amount of snow that we get here.

ya the GL is nice, if they made an AMG version of it id be all over that. i didnt really like the the ML or the cayenne turbo so i ended up going with the range rover sport s/c and its quite a lot of fun. its pretty amazing what it can do off-road and its a lot of fun doing that as well! i dont like the big one though, it drives like a boat. i used to be anti suv as well but it comes in handy as a second ride.
man i still love the C63, its a great package for a good price. cant wait to order one once my gf is ready to get a car.

haha shes not 15, she just doesnt have her own car yet and she doesnt drive too often. she does want to get one in the near future though, so ill help her get into the C63 if i dont get one myself before that happens.
well it should be sunny the next few days, but forecast is predicting snow for the weekend. maybe we should have a weekday meet?

Thanks for your support SebringSilver. 
PS, would anyone be interested in a MB drive, im thinking all MB's welcome and go for a rip to Sqamish or Whistler when the weather gets better. Maybe grab a bit and drive back. I love that drive and a band of MB's would look so good!
Let me know what you guys think.

As for the MB meet, we kind of just did that, actually. About a week ago a bunch of us drove out to Whytecliff along Marine Drive and then came back on the Upper Levels. A drive up to Squamish/Whistler would be fantastic, but as Supafly says, the weather would have to be pretty darn predictable for any of us to risk it...unless you don't mind us driving other cars better suited to the snowy climate.
