It's raining here in LA so my plan on high speed social distancing is on hold for a little while, so it's video editing for now...

Yea I have been trying to stay home and hunker down...I go into the garage a few times and stare at the GT....then I say screw it and roll out and go out...I think more than anything people should start hoarding garbage bags not toilet paper. You can tell people are getting impatient if you go through any parking lots with some traffic in them...

Hey Trump just told every governor to fend for themselves when they asked for additional medical equipment for our citizens just a short time ago. Ya can't make this **** up..

Trump literally told governors that they had to “get ventillators themselves.” That is absolutely unconscionable. The federal government should be doing everything it can to provide ventilators to states in need. We are all in this together.

This one is gonna hit us hard guys...It's financially going to be a slowww pick up back to how things were as we are being told....Just when the economy and market was soaring under President Trump....

We definitley HAVE to bring back a lot of our important production to the USA. Like meds, medical equipment, etc. I was unaware how much of our medicine is produced in China!!??
Ibuprofen, Antibotics Acetaminophen, blood pressure meds...Let this be a lesson to less foriegn dependence...

It looks like there won't be any new Mercedes cars in my driveway for a long time thanks to Trump's market crash and the corona virus.

So I did some video editing on a cold and rainy day to pass the time while stuck in the house..

Yeah it was, I got lucky. I've driven these canyons so many times and each time before I go out I watch a rally crash video to remind myself how bad things can get in the blink of an eye.
My reaction time is pretty good but you can't predict anything while coming around a blind corner.. It was my time, I got really lucky.

I love the E63s wagon in the tight canyons more than the GTS. The long nose and Renntech splitter on the GTS doesn't make me confident enough to tuck in enough on the tight stuff..
Still fun but better suited for the faster canyon roads..

I believe he stated that If state officials could procure equipment on their own through their own channels it may be beneficial for time. Your interpretation leaves me for a loss of words as well. Maybe we speak different languages.

I'd say I'm shocked that a certain someone in this thread turned it to crap by bringing up politics... But I'm not.





In other news, we have had rain for nearly a week straight, with another week of the junk forecast... All I want to do it go cruise, as I daydream about sunny weather.

Let's try and keep this forum interesting and active through the coronavirus thing-ywthuei.jpg

I think driving counts as social distancing?

Ski area was closed, so I used their vast empty parking lot to play around with traction control.

It definitely counts as self quarantine too! That side profile shot you posted to IG earlier today was immaculate. I love your color combo.

Can't wait to take advantage of this fact! Might take the AMG for a road trip, for the fun of it, when the sun comes back out.
