In the past, we have experienced about a 50% turnout. So this should be pretty good. I also want to see what this shop offers, and whether they want the business of us "un AMG" people. Other shops are kind of biased.

Don't worry Justin, Carlab is real cool run by Darwin. I will setup our official Bay Area Dayz BBQ later on in June or something and hopefully get some sponsorship going with that.

I'm sure about a 1/3rd and more of the people on the current list will be able to comment on this. Might want to look through mbklasse sometime .

This would be the first time i've gone into an aftermarket car shop. No expectations, but I think they'd be nice people.

Regarding turnout, Carlab is also hosting a BMW event at this time as well I think. I'm concerned about traffic. Has anyone who has been to the Carlab facility had any thoughts about parking and traffic? Some assurance would be nice. Worst thing is to go to a meeting with car fanatics and find out that your car was doored by another clumsy car lover's guest who isn't a car lover.

Well, from what all you guys are telling me, this shop seems nice. I hope my experience will match yours. I had no intention of ragging on the shop at all, I just have had some bad experiences with other shops in the area.

Enrique- Those amg wheels came off the AMG cars from the late 70's early 80's. Wish they were for sale, Id buy some just to restore them and sell them later. You should look around online man, I saw your car (AMG version) the other day. Just do a search for Classic AMG.

No parking or traffic issues. The CarLAB track is very wide . I gaurantee there will be enough room (door opening room) for everyone.

Did anyone have any preference as far as the menu? . CarLAB will be raffling off prizes, free installs, and T-shirts as well.

Seriously, I'm terrible with names. I hope that everybody wears one of those stickies that say "Hello, my name is: " and that they include their Name and their nickname that they use on the forums.

I apologize in advance if I'm not familiar with names. I barely remember the names to people I see every day.

Oh, yes, Lanyards would be cool. See you on the 20th, I'm looking forward to it.

I hope we all have lanyards, since I don't want to be the only person with one.
