it was spur of the moment for me. I mean a quick phone call from my co-worker and and a quick drive to go see the show. All though I did not know anyone, I did have a good time.
I was drooling over this 500E!!! absolutely clean, and the 65 wheels are a nice touch.

I had a great time, I can't complain with anything today. I sat and ate with some good people, the caravan over got wild, it was just overall great. Some of those AMG's are just beasts (vic). I got killed trying to keep up, but oh well. Thanks Saprissa for overseeing the arrangements to make this happen.
I tend to forget I have a camera so I only took 8 or so pictures today, enjoy...

It was fun lining up against the 63 and the 55 for three straight lights and it was pure luck that when we actually decided to calm down, a cop then drove by the other way.
How come there are no pics of us partying?? I dont think I ever left that perch of mine.

Thank you Carlos for making this a great meet. Thank you topless for getting the permit. You made the long treck fun on the caravan.
Special thank you to Renntech for coming from Arizona, and for being the only performance tuner to show up. You guys brought some crazy cars.
It was nice to see my MB friends again. We need to do this more often!

I think we all will admit that we were shocked to even have a chance to line up once let alone three times. We all had wheelspin on each run, I had a ton with the 65's stupid torque but each time I would pull out about a car length to 60 or so and then we get another red light. Thats the first time I have ever had stop light run in the 65- the 55 and 63 were about even and there were two people in the 63. I wish I had my 55- I think from a dig it will pull harder than my 65 but once the bi turbo gets rolling ... watch out!!
My buddy from Penske MBZ came and took me for a run in his 63. The thing moves.

I had a great time. It was nice meeting every one seeing all the great rides. Saprissa excellent job. One of the best moments was all the AMG's taking off at the light in these pix.... the sound was amazing
Can't wait until the next get together....
Mick, Tom, Super Mario I know there are more good times to come. I think a drive up to SB is in order. I know Mick can show us a good time. He owes me a dance

What a fun meet. First time to show and was very impressed with eveyone and their great, class rides. Great to put faces and cars with their screen names. My personal thanks to everyone who had a hand in putting it together. It's never as easy as it looks.

That was my car lined up to the right of Vic. Vic was smoking tires, and I couldnt tell if mine were or not because Vic's was making so much noise. E63 and I were dead even most of the way. I think I started pulling from the E63 towards the end, but he had an extra person and he was larger than me.
I had esp off, E63 had it on, and we both ended up about even when the tires ended up gripping
Vic was just plain gone

Shelle and Leon: It was great meeting you and anytime you are ready to come to SB I am more than capable of showing you all a good time...just one dance
shhhhI thought I deserve more than that.Vic & Carlos: It was great meeting and talking smack late in the day having a couple drinks together. Thank you for putting the next thread together as well.
Caravaners:It was great driving to the meet together even if I was trying to have a few freeway blasts with Angela.
Angela: Where do I even begin with you.....Best thing i can say is that you had a smile on my face all day long
Cheers to all and here is to the next event that can't come soon enough...will post my pics later.
