Escondido MB service department is no longer open on Saturdays. I guess we can go there and take the SLR out for a spin instead.

I'll go regardless just to check out the tire shop, Evan's has a shop here in Temecula but I didn't know it was geared towards upper end cars or imports... so it's a hour roundtrip for me... I too don't want to stay home on Sat. because I will work...

I'll roll by. I gotta be in San Marcos later anyway and you all know I could care less about cleaning my car before a meet (hint hint Jerry )

Mark, I like your pic, too. Just wondering which "goose" is gonna take the first hit. They look like they are a bit confused as to what the strategy is. Lookin into that new Vette or 997s. Tougher call than i thought. Leaning back at the Pcar, if I can swing it and keep the E.

Hey Jay55. How you like that G wagon? I may be getting one to replace my wife's ML500. Solid axles, right? Hehe, I could shove the Jeep onto her and use it as my DD.

GWag is like a tank, the dual exhaust pipes are right below the driver side/passenger door so it sounds sick.

Thanks to everyone (Jay, Jerry, jangy) that came along today and Thanh/Auto Fashion for throwing the event. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate. Jay and I almost get in an accident on the way there. Luckily we missed the guy but someone else wasn't that lucky and actually hit the guy. It looked like a snowstorm hit Escondido.

Here are some pics of what we had to endure out here in sunny San Diego. Complete album: click here. Pictures aren't the greatest because I was holding an umbrella with one hand and trying to snap with the other.









Even the DJ's couldn't hide from mother nature.

THanks for making it out guys...!!! yeah I'm sorry the weather wouldn't cooperate but it was good meeting you all and glad you all made all made it home safely.

Before that I always wondered what my car would look like w/ snow..... and i got a lil taste of it..... needless to say I've quenched my curiosity.

Global warming sucks!
