I dont think logistically that would make sense but if we have a lot of extra time then maybe? I know the freeways will be crowded like always on Saturday (the 5 will for sure).

Thats another possibility... if we have access to a computer at CalStar we can check Sigalert.com to see what the current freeway speeds are as well as any accidents. I like the 405 run because after LAX it opens up nicely versus the crap on the 5 through Santa Fe Springs, Disneyland, etc.

Vic,

I'm down for the 110fwy to the 405fwy. It should be a nice cruise pending if there's any traffic but hopefully not. You think we should leave even earlier maybe around 9am - 9:15am sharp?

Actually no, the AMG LSD is still being shipped from Germany. I might just wait until its available state side with the 030 package. I am getting the CLS55 steering rack and control arms plus some software upgrades and other minor items.

No cosmetics so it will look the same as before, maybe a 10hp gain from the new software.

I did but Powerchip came up with some new software that will be better. Probably nothing I would notice but since its there and its free I might as well do it.
