Fantastic GTG!!! Props to BENZgal and the organizing crew for making this an EVENT. Lots of phat rides on the lot, my favorite being the wicked blk SL Brabus B11....shout out to the owner, your ride looks evil.

Nice to have had the opportunity meeting & chit chating with some of you MBWorld car fanatics!

Special thanks to nlpamg, sdsilverm3, DancingBenzos for the visuals and the snap shots of my Vette...you guys ROCK.

I'm liking the Borlas, it has a distinct 60s muscle car sound, I much like the burble sound when you decelerate. Originally I had the B&B Bullets, but way too loud, enough to cause migraines from the market and back. I don't recall seeing your E55 on the lot yesterday, but I do remember seeing it at the VIP Auto Fashion Show....sweet ride!!!

Luv to see your DOPE GS430 at the next event.

Hehehe...if I had known you were taking snap shots, I would have pop the hood and show'd you the "eye candy".

Thanks buddy, your C55 looks real clean & nice choice of wheels.

Ahh thanks for the kind words. My car was there on saturday but the wheels weren't on. I am in the process of selling them and didn't want to put them on and risk "damaging" them. So I kept them at home. Maybe next time, I'll try to get someone to come out with the lexus too...

But seriously, your car is serious business!~! I hope to see ya around sometime on the road.

Fred, it was a 55 no doubt. His exhaust just didnt have the post cats and resonator removed thus the lower DB's...

Ya the Buick's my car. I drove that up there because it's the pic in my sig (never really took any good pics of the MB).

Running up the sidewalk? I was actually thinking of jumping off of it instead of waiting for my friend in the C55 to slowly creep out the driveway. I think I had enough ground clearance.

SL Brabus, you should really drink it or share it with someone at a party.. it's pretty special stuff. I give it to my SPECIAL really cool clients who get insurance or financial services with me... it's one of the highlights of the wine tours down here in Temecula... it's an Almond flavored sparkling wine.

Jangy... are you up for another meet this weekend in Escondido?

Thank you Richard. Did we meet? I loved your Vette and loved the ferocious sound. It was hot! It was cool to see you fly down the street.


Vic,
I am LMAO at work this morning looking at your beer pic. Sorry about the cheap beer. You will be happy to know that you are not the only one that hated the Miller & Bud. Last night the roomies and I decided to have a small party to finish the beer and food. Even though the guys drank the crappy beer they complained. I had to get in my car and get them some dark beer. I promise next time Vic you will get your dark beer. <3

Wow crazy pics. It was an honor to be around so many nice cars.

Jerry,

I'm sorry for calling you Jim. I think I even introduced you as Jim? I'm a total idiot sorry. Please forgive me. I need to get to Temecula soon. My friends love to go wine tasting. I hope you get some insurance business from the meet. It's cool that Farmers has new pricing to compete with Mercury. You have my vote.
