I've only had my C63 a few weeks and I've only taken it to MB Walnut Creek for items the dealer needed to cover for me.

I've taken my ML to York's Motorwerke in Walnut Creek and had a very positive experience with them.
I came across them, while searching for someone to reprogram my SAM. Seemed like nice enough folks. How was their pricing?

Sonic MS is a little on the high side but its the only reputable high end auto shop in the area that I'm aware of.

I've been told by Josh at OE that in a week or two Nissi Motors in SF will have the equipment to do OE flashes on site.

Great News and cant wait!! How about exterior mods like installing a chrome delete kit? I want to get rid of the stock grill and window moldings. So will these be sat or sun meets?

For blacking out chrome I would use gloss black vinyl to cover it. There should be graphic shops in the area that could do it.

ECU Tuning Group in Fremont can tune your car. There was a very interesting and entertaining thread about them a few months or so ago. You can read the thread and make your own opinion.

I own an 08 EVO WW before. I sold it last year and only has 14k...... Then I bought my C63 last month.... The C63 is a beast compare to the EVO. But still love my EVO because of her AWD.

Did anyone go the meet on Sunday? I was indisposed, but I'm definitely interested in setting up meets in the future. Anyone else up to the task?

I don't go to many of the meets because they're usually pretty dead. If there are any AMG meets I'd be down.

Well, you could go to the "Santana Row" GTG which has moved to the theater parking lot across from Santana row.

Last Saturday I was there, as were 2 MP-12C, 458, and 599 GTO. A dozen vettes, couple vipers, all told, about 50 cars. These events are anything but "dead".

Expect less this time since most enthusiasts will be at laguna seca for the ALMS race.

On Sunday 5/12, try the cars and caffine here http://clubautosport.net/. See the colander at the bottom right. Free food and drinks. Good chili dogs and nachos. Usually a technical session. Many of the vendors are open. This is a great event.

Cool, thanks for the info. I caught one of those new McLarens in my rearview mirror last week. That thing sound gnarly.

Hey guys,

Im from the east bay as well, located in fremont. Im up at highway 9 a good amount (at least twice a month) having fun out there.

As far as modifications, I take my car to Sonic Motorsports in Mountain view, they have done an amazing job for everything I have taken my car in for.

We all should definitely do a local drive. Me and my friends are thinking about going out and doing a drive at SCAGS up north next week saturday. Not sure how many of you have been out there but its, in my opinion, one of the most fun roads out here in the bay.

We were thinking of meeting up somewhere in the east bay around 9am and then heading out there. Would anyone else like to join us?

* so far its me (c63), and 3 other friends (e92 m3, e46 m3 and porsche 911 turbo)
