Trip to Boston
I went on a trip to boston for a week and I've been saying 'man! what a nice car' for the past week, over and over...
We went to this Korean/Japanese restaurant called 'Apollo' and the parking lot there had all the nicest cars... M5's, M3's, X5's, S's, CL's, Viggen's, 911's and so on... (those Korean college Kids...wonder if they tell their parents in korea that the tuition is $50,000 per semester in the US), not to mention Newbury Street, where I saw a Murcielago, SL55 AMG, Arnage, Modena, Vanquish and a Maserati on one trip!
But my new CLK500 was still a head turner. Even in the Mecca of car fanatics, there are not many CLK's yet I guess... LkuidM5, when you go back to Bentley, just cruise along on Newbury Street and you'll know what I mean...
oh by the way, all my friends in Boston said I should put AMG emblem on the right side of the trunk lid, and I did... and despite all the criticism in the forum, the back of the car looks so much nicer with 'CLK500 ///AMG' hehe...

yeah, boston has a lotta nice rides. apollo is a good "chinese owned" korean restaurant... nothing like the korean restaurants in NJ or NY.
last weekend, i saw a red Ferrari F40 parked on newburry street. i was checking out the engine bay for like half an hour- whatta beaut it was!
then... after i ran my errands, on the way back, i run into A FRIGGIN' MCLAREN F1!!!! It was a black one, so it wasn't herb chamber's (who has the silver one)... man, that car REALLY BLEW me away... when the owner started the engine up and drove away, it sounded ssooooooooooooo nice.

Schumacher,
What did you decide to do with your wheels? I just bought the 320 and I am interested in buying AMG wheels.
MBSlick,
I get my car hand washed at East side car wash. 92nd street. They do a nice job. I took my older Benz which I frequently hand wash to the automatic one and the brushes scratched my wheels(those tiny light scratches). So I don't recommend.
