AMG Performance Tour

OK! So this event has solidified me as an AMG owner for life. Just got back from the event here in Atlanta. Everything was outstanding from the event to Mercedes Benz of Buckhead. They washed and vaccumed my car got it shinning like a new penny for free. Didn't know they were going to do this, just a wonderful surprise when the valet brought my car around.

There were two C63's, 2 SL63, 1 CL63, and one E63. I got there around 8:40, shuttle got us over to the event right at 9, and I spent the next 4 1/2 hours in automotive heaven. They had a great course set up we got a good stretch of hwy coming and going, as well as some city driving. Thank you everyone who helped put this event together.Really enjoyed talking to Sandy, Joe, Jason, and Tony to name a few.
There was also a CLKBS, and SLR McLaren, and a GL to climb in and out of and explore, along with C63 dyno runs with 0-60 and 0-100 trials.'

If the tour is coming to a city remotely near you, I say make the drive. Probably some of the best fun you can have for free and with your clothes on

Dang it. I would have loved to have met you Next time, though. And yes the SL is heavenly...I can only imagine the 65 and the BS...I am getting chills just thinking about it

I was greedy...I drove everything. Only thing I didn't get a chance to do was they dyno, and that is because I didn't want to wait another thirty mins for the car to cool down and then get in line.

I would have preferred them not wash my car. I'm kinda picky and like to do it myself or know the pro who is going to detail my ride.

Thanks for compliment on the pics. And yea I believe it is called Mars Red. Wasn't sure how I would like the color until I saw it in person. I am in love, nothing like actually sitting in the car to make you remember how outstanding it is. It is what my car wants to be when it grows up.

Normally I would have to agree with you, but with the drought and neighbors who are quick to report any unauthorized use of water, I have had to scale back my self service. And my detail guy has been getting a little more expensive. Where do you normally go?

Depends.

Cherokee Co. relaxed the watering ban a little a couple months ago. I can wash on Saturday mornings till 10:00am.

http://www.ccwsa.com/ (look under "Bans")

Occasionally, I've gone to a hand wash place where I can see them washing the car (there are a couple in Norcross on Holcomb Bridge Rd.) just inside Gwinnett Co. There is also a place in Crabapple that will hand wash for $30.

Before that I'd go to a coin car wash and do a quick wash down. For a pro, I've used onsiteshine.com and Glenn's Superior Car Shine in Roswell.
