Not here in n NJ - coming down pretty hard.

LOL - very dry here, until the meet weekend. It's like deja vu all over again.

As far as Sunday, the autocross is probably going to happen regardless of weather. But would definitely suck. As for alternatives, the real Bada Bing club is right up the street.

I went to the dealer this morning and ordered a new key. I also changed the battery on the key which didnt do anything. Since its broken anyway I banged the key around and guess what? It started working again! Lets see how long it lasts. I'm coming tonight after work. *Crossing fingers for no rain*

There's an indoor cart track nearby to Montvale in Ramsey on Rt. 17 ; at least it 'was' there under 10 years ago.

Anyone still in NE NJ area who knows Rt 17 in Ramsey know if it's still there? That would be something, if the AMG enthusiasts decend from the heavens onto the place... lol Lock the doors and don't let the rest of the public in!

Yes, this is beginning to suck. Two days ago the chance of rain Saturday was like 20%. It's 40% now and Sunday is 50%.

Ok, here's my standard post so we can keep an eye on the weather:

Well, I've just washed mine half an hour ago, had to wash the car really fast, because the rain is coming my way. Anyway, see you all tomorrow at around 10 with my wife and my humble beast. We both want to check out the ML63 in person.

Is it on tomorrow at the stadium? I hope one of you can confirm before I drive my *** all the way up there for the autox.

If you are there, and actually online tonight, I will forgive you for being a loser just this once.
