Have fun guys! Despite the fact that I live within 5 miles of the mall, I won't be able to join you - my C32 will be enjoying a long weekend in Maine.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Can we get a roll call of who's coming to the meet and their cars? Just for curiosity's sake I personally don't care if there's 5, 10 or 15 cars at the meet; I've enjoy the vibe often transcended at the Lexus meets I've gone to, and I'm sure this will do the same

A couple people I know may come as well.. not sure yet though. Great opportunity to ask me car detailing questions in person! lol. Looked at the C320 and it has MINOR swirls, lol so I guess it won't be as perfect as i thought.

I'm really not liking this rainfall. I noticed at lunch today that the front of my car (hood and bumper) had dirty water spots all over! I broke out the MG Quik Detail spray and did the best I could since I plan to go to a car wash facility on Saturday before the meet, and no point in going to a car wash twice in 2-3 days.

Seems like the two of you will bring clean cars on Satuday. Let me see what I can do. Don't want to be the dirty one in the group.

Unhappy paint chips

Ali (AlBoston),

Seems like you're the detailing guru around this forum (hey, at least your sig says so! ). What's your experience in dealing with paint chips, especially the ones on the front hood? I have a few noticeable ones, mostly on the hood, and I could really use some tips/advice that you could offer. I have a bottle of touch-up paint that I plan to bring along should a demonstration be desired. Black cars like mine are difficult to maintain but are some of the most pleasant when cleaned, polished and waxed

Alright guys, it's 8:20 right now, and I'll be heading out the door and be on the road in an hour from now. I'll get my car washed in Natick, and it sure looks like it'll be a truly nice day for a meet and some Ben & Jerry's

For those coming from within the city of Boston, or the Fenway area, there's a Red Sox game going on around 1:15PM, so plan on bypassing the traffic around the Fenway/BU region.

When's your next meet? I'm planning (hoping) to drive up to Boston for a day in late August once I get my 260 all fixed and cleaned up. I'm in central CT.

Wow, nice!

If I was there I would've had the oldest car even with the E420

That CL55 is definitely nice...
