MBenzNL Toronto Visit

Steve once again was able to add many more nice features to my 55, some of which VRUS was able to add also before Steve was able to get on the plane Thanks again to Steve and Wanda for all their help. Met some more great people on these installs, and as usual VRUS was being a bad-influence when it comes to engine mods!! Some pics below from the UHI kit, Voice command system, Active Curve-illum. bi-xenons , interior motion sensor, and the best was the nice stance that i was left with

If someone stick a hand into your car while the windows are down, it will trigger the alarm, thus is called the Interior Motion Sensor (IMS)

That might be the case... but.. just dont get into a collision with a 5'11", 205lb guy who's coming at you full bore!!

Besides, us bigger guys have an advantage in the corners.. more weight = more traction!! Its like putting bags of rocks over your rear wheels so they dont slip!!
