Carlos, once again, so glad you're back to organize these things.

After my car has suddenly taken a huge step backwards, I was happy to hang out and chill with everybody (well, for the most part), but sad that I was quietly trying to figure out how to get my car right.

Regardless, despite my car not running as smooth as I'd like and getting dehydrated, it was a good turn out and much fun!

Hopefully see you guys at the one in D'ego (in hopes that my car is completed as well - including the body kit).

I thought you were there... there was a black/black smoked out C6 with a pretty loud exhaust roaming around and I thought that that had to be you.

That's my Vette....and thanks for taking the snap shots.

I called TheRicker (Sean) to meet up, but he had prior engagements with an out-of-town guest.

I noticed two MB groups (one a few hundred yards ahead).

Last I heard from Benny, he was selling his C6Z a few months ago.

Our meets are an opportunity to enable us to foster and renew relationships based on our mutual regard and respect for the Mercedes-Benz marque. Mingle, admire, learn and enjoy. Don’t be an idiot!

If one feels the need to demonstrate his or her vehicle’s prowess, there are myriad venues in which to do so. None of us is too far from a properly sanctioned (relatively safe) skill event. Track days are readily available from more than a dozen local organizations.

In the future, know that you will be welcome to join the festivities. Kindly temper your enthusiasm for the proper time and place.

Yeah, I parked the GM some distance from the meet...but their were a few who admired the sinister hotrod.

When I heard your name I thought you had shown up, I was looking for Mario (E55CENT) too. Also, had the chance to meet Linh (spelling??)...real cool dude, we shared notes on one particular shady vendor!
