Dont get me wrong, I loved the benzes and all the cars that truly demanded respect........but come on, there were some cars that if you waved at them......their paint would wave back at you. The quality has gone down in the cars......thats just my 2 cents..........damn, two hours in line.....I had some spare VIP and staff bracelets which you could have bypassed the line.
shelling out 25$....

They messed it up trying to put on the center cap, so they are giving me a new one! And since they welded the 2 pcs together - grrrrrr - this was one of two wheels that had white discoloring all over the outside part from cleaning agents at the carwash, and NO AMT of polishing would get rid of it. I hope they mess up the other one at DUB, my car should be there too

And, the reason I couldn't go is because I have a bad foot, my rt foot. And yes, its from driving, but from the Honda Element which has pedals 4 inches off the floor. I drove 5-6-7 hrs at a time up and then back from No Cal 3 wknds in a row with my foot perched in the air, w/o cruise control - traffic the whole way. Then, that day of the Pasadena GTG, being stuck in stop and go traffic in the MB for 2 1/2 hrs just killed it. I went to the dr finally and found out I had a stress fracture and ligament damage which I am fixing now with a boot and like no walking or driving
