Any of you guys heading down here to Louisiana for the AMG-fest later this month. Sounds like a blast, just not sure I can get away on a Thurs. or Fri. but I would love to see some of your rides.

Have been meaning to post a recommendation for "Ernie's Alloys" in Miami. Got his name as a recommendation from Dino and called him to purchase my 65 wheels. Just wanted anyone who was interested in purchasing from him to know the transaction was smooth and he took my 55 wheels on trade. Saved a lot versus buying direct from MB and he was a good guy to deal with.
