It was easy. Just peel off the 3M tape skin and press them on. Then dyno a 2nd time.

I'm an in. I'll be there, camera in hand, ready to take shots of everyone's cars. I'm not positive I'll have my car in NYC by then, but if so maybe I can grab a ride with someone if they're leaving from Manhattan (i'm in midtown).

Rims went on Monday afternoon. No problems, thankfully. I'm sure that they look really pretty at the dealership right now - going under the knife tomorrow to fix an engine harness issue - $1450. Ouch!

Not showing - my ego couldn't take the pointing and laughing, like Rick's wife did on their honeymoon.

And I didn't need someone saying "Why are you even telling us? do you want more attention?"

I read the thread but I'm still kind of confused where the meet is? That is, if non-Mercedes are welcome....even non-German cars for that matter
AHAHAHAHAHA CMON ITS A GREAT CAR...err SUV, lol... at least its black and might look GAANGSTA with some effort

After this weekend, I will. Funny thing is that I'll probably be driving the crx for awhile, though - taking it out of winter storage, and it's so much more fun to drive in warm weather than the Benz.

Just noticed this, you b*stard.

This thread has almost 900 views, yet we have only 20 people thinking of coming. This underscores my point that NE forum members are a lazy bunch of slackers.

Or that everyone knows what a sh*tty party you throw.

Oy - working on such a nice day really blows.

Rick, there's going to be a (so far) 150-car Honda meet near the Ben Franklin Bridge on the 23rd. Want me to pick you up on the way down?

Our Benzes can go over 70 without tipping over, so we have no need for karts.

Nice, next time I'm in the area I'll try it out. F1 is very expensive, I only went because I know the owner of Exoticar and he has a shop setup inside. I had a good time though.
