We're a good mixture of younger and older. Come on down, let us see that 05' SL.

BTW- The Mercedes Benz Club of America is having an autocross/car show up in Kingwood on November 13. I don't have a time, but I know for sure it's going to be at Kingwood College.

I'll try to be there as well. Don't know what my schedule will be like, but I'd really like to be able to make it. BTW, does anyone know any local body shops or wheel places that will roll fenders for a reasonable price? i'm looking to get my passenger side rear fender rolled. I only need a few mm more clearance.

Thanks,
Jon

I should rephrase my statement, it's going to have people from multiple Benz forums.

Well, the forums have responses, but not as many as here. MBWorld seems to have the best response so far. Right now, with all of the people added up from all of the forums as of right now, we're looking at 12, but it could get as high as 20+ if everyone responds.
