MD/DC/VA June 10th Meet

Lets try this again, we are gonna have a meet friday June 10th in front of the Sports Authority (in the same shopping center as Starbucks/Barnes and Nobles) where 355 and Montrose Road cross next friday June 10th at 8:00PM. We usually park in between Timpano's (spelling?) and Sports Authority so look there for some benzes. Is this ok with everyone? I jus hope it doesnt rain again! I will be in a SILVER clk430 for those of you that dont know me.

Supposed to get the car back today but I havent received a call from the shop yet. I first got the wrong trans sent to me and now its costing me even more to have this done. It seems like alot of people are starting to have trans problems. I never want to go through that experience again. This well end up setting me back over 4 grand for a used trans(If I knew this up front I would have gotten it done at the dealer). Ohe well, sh*t happens

I would have made the people who sent it wrong the 1st time eat the mechanics labor - its their fault.keep us posted how it works out.

Got my car back today. On the way home I see large clouds of smoke coming out from under my car and smells like tranny fluid. I pull over and just as I had suspected, the trans fluid was leaking onto the exhaust. I'm really getting sick of dealing with these people. I'M SURROUNDED BY INCOMPETENCE! I need to call them in the morning.

They already know all about the HK (It was my boys friends shop). Anyway, it seems that they overfilled the trans and it shot out the overflow vent and then hit the exhaust and produced HUGE clouds of smoke. I ended up getting a free battery in the proccess.
Denim- I went to the M event at fedex with bensitto. The 500 is pretty nice, try power launching it on the straight away, its fun when its not your car. And thanks for letting me know the box is full, i'll go empty it.
Rocsfinest- I guess its a little late to post this but yea, lets meet in the upper level garage if its raining. I'll be there rain or shine but I havent had time to put carlsson rs front bumper back on so it looks like crap with the busted up amg one.

I had a great time at the event, I need to upload the pix, it was fun driving the new c230, handels great,

I sorta percived the ML 500 to have more thrust, but it still can move,
