Well, that is a shame. AutoX in an AMG is almost an oxymoron!!!!
Anyway, best wishes for a successful year. Hope everything comes together

You and me both, as we started planning the 2011 events, back in November. Management is very hard to work with when it comes to funding. At first they were like sure, provide us a calender of events. Did that, then they immediately started chopping on it, once they received our cost estimate. Bottom line 10 events chopped to only 6. I agreed to a compromise, just so we could have an event for 2011. Those dam bean counters, I tell you.

The problem, is that AMG holds no event in the Washington, DC area. Now the NY area, is a whole different story. I asked AMG about holding an event here, we are only like 200 miles from NY. And they calmly said that they simply do not have any events schedule for the Nations Capitol. I took that as a slap in the face, and was pissed off. But they did say, that is what our AMG Performmance centers are for. So here are I am.
