I guess it is wrong time for me to come to Vancouver in two weeks. You guys are not even meeting up.

Is there any place in Vancouver area where I can rent AMG cars for two to three days?

I see...I have to attend a conference that's why. I can't go to meeting with hybrid cars from commercial rental companies LOL.

So if I can rent Lambos then there must be other brands like Ferarris and Porsches. If you guys do know where please provide me the location and the exact street address. Thank you.

you should just pick up a limo when you get out the airport, tell the limo when you are going to conference and when u are off. Renting something like amg on a day to day basis should be very expensive. I remeber e350 rental by day is like 300bux could be rong though.

I think we're overdue for a car meet.

Let's do one before the summer comes to an end.

Obviously, those who have the time and inclination are welcome to join Terence for the Mission Drags this Friday. But the weather looks more promising for Sunday so I'm putting together a meet for Sunday afternoon with a drive up to Whistler.
