Yeah, she's in pretty good shape. The only thing wrong with it is the rear drivers side door. My neighbors daughter backed into her and killed my original door. I replaced the door but I haven't gotten around to repainting it. So that door is grey and the rest of the car is a bluish color. It just hasn't been at the top of my to-do list. She runs great tho.

As of 10 PM Pacific time, here are the POLL results:


October 8th - 12 / 17.91%

October 15th - 20 / 29.85%

both dates are GOOD for me ! - 30 / 44.78%

neither one works for me ! - 5 / 7.46%


If I split the "both dates are GOOD" votes 15 & 15 and add
to either October 8th (12 + 15 = 27)
and October 15th (20 + 15 = 35)
the October 15th crowd wins !

so, the 1st Annual Orange County Mercedes-Benz & AMG Meet will be held on
Saturday OCTOBER 15th

Time & Location TBD.
Stay tuned for more details, and visit
