Just finished the 2000 mile trip from Troutman, NC to Sierra Vista, AZ and am in more love with my E55 than I was before I left! Cruzing on I-10 in west Texas at 90 was amazing!!! The car felt like it was at home, running smooth as silk. Never before has a car made me feel so comfortable at such high speeds.

Thank you Affalterbach!!!

Welcome to az, just in time to experience the hellish summer heat!

I work in Sierra Vista. Isn't it beautiful? Drive up to AZ wine country in Sonoita. About 30 minutes away and it is absolutely gorgeous.

I'll have to check that out! Any advice on where to get a good service around here? Should I just run up to the Merc dealer in Tucson? I'm on post and am limited to only using the car care center here because I didn't bring any tools with me.

I need to get my airmatic pump looked at. The car isn't slammed down on the wheels, but I'm getting the white screen that says to take to service, and I haven't heard my pump run lately before I get into the car

wes459

Oh and yeah, the landscape is GORGEOUS!!! I spent last weekend in Bisbee and Tombstone seeing the sights...pretty cool!

Hopefully Denroll will chime in with some shops down there, if youre in the phoenix area i'd suggest Dynamic Imports out in Tempe.

Lets do a Mt Lemon run. Myself and Denroll live in Tucson, hit us up.

Denroll

Yup. There's one or two indy shops and a dealer in Tucson. I've got a garage and a decent tool collection if you need to do some non-messy work and I know a certain someone with STAR ;D

thunderclaps

Let's STAR this !

wes459

Will do! What about going this Saturday? I'm getting the oil changed at the dealer at 8 AM, but don't really have anything else going on that day. If you guys want to meet up that would be awesome!

I'd love to get mine STAR lowered after I figure out what is going on with the airmatic...

Bramage

You guys are probably on the same base... Did you catch that Denroll?

I heard all the "don't ask don't tell" guys get stationed out there.

wes459

Haha! Yeah there is only one base down this way...all the cool kids come here! ...as do the super nerds...

Denroll

Where do you work? I'm driving the Benz in to work tomorrow. I normally take my beater Camry because it's a 120 mile round trip for me.

That policy was repealed! M3 drivers are now welcome on base.

We could BBQ Friday night and make it a STAR / Beer night.

wes459

I'm in a course at Nicholson Hall for the summer.

I could do that, what kind of time frame were you thinking?

Denroll

I don't know where that is, lol. Let me know if you want to grab a quick lunch at the food court. Popeye's is my kryptonite.

I'm down. Your place or mine? My back yard project is finished and ready to rock:





But I'm not above driving 15 minutes away

thunderclaps

I live in Rita Ranch (Tucson) , 45 min away from Sierra Vista. Everything is far in Arizona, lol.

Denroll

It's 60 miles from my driveway to the parking lot at work, and I live way down on the SouthEast side.

Let's talk BBQ. Your place or mine? I have a few steaks and just spent $60 on some delicious German brews.

wes459

I wish I would have seen this earlier, but I had to work through lunch today...Thursdays are like that for me.

Let me know if you guys want me to bring anything. I'll PM you both my number.

thunderclaps

my house. bring your swiming attire if you want to jump in the pool.

thunderclaps

Good times guys. We have to do this again.

Bramage

Denroll said the get together rocked!!


He sent me these. Wish I could have made it out there... next time for sure!!










And last......



Gotta have some fun for the kids

thunderclaps

Denroll wasn't supposed to release those pictures. lol.

wes459

Oh my...

HAHAHAHA

wes459

Let's do it again soon!
