No problem... just call me a picture *****.

My battery died earlier than expected, otherwise i would have taken a bunch more. The Enzo and 360 Challenge were rediculous, soooo much carbon fiber.

when did you guys go to the show? i was there on sunday, pretty disappointed last year was better... plus last year they didnt tell me im not allowed to carry my back pack with my cameras and film in it.

I did however find 4 924 turbo toys upstairs and bought all of them. Also the guy with the huge sticker booth upstairs is a friend of my girlfriend's father and he offered me a job on sundays going to concerts and car shows with him! next sunday i get to hang out with the ricer crowd at some englishtown import day.... atleast i get paid

I went to the show last Tuesday with my department: it was a 'team building' Dilbert thiny (BTW: I work for Mercedes-Benz!) and I had to drop off my back-pack and pay $2.00 for them to hold it. I WAS SOO PISSED OFF AT THAT! People were given bags at the show, so what's the freakin' difference between a back-pack and a bag? BOTH can conceal a weapon, bomb...etc.
I think it was just a way to get more $$ outta us. I wanted to get a bag from inside the show, and stuff my backpack in it just to prove my point. Idiots!
[Rant mode off]
Ok, I feel better now.

Oh yeah, E-town next week: it's some kinda "Bling Bling" Import nationals. My friends from the MR2 club are planning on being there. Have fun! Stay away from the fart-cans, Altezza clear taillights, and blue-lite wiper nozzels!

what do you do for mb? since i left the car show i have been trying to figure out how realistic it will be for me to sell/trade in my bmw and my 944 n/a with a couple grand towards a lease on the c-class i saw there starting at like $27k.... help a kid out and tell someone to give me your employee wholesale price eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Dan:
That C-class 230 Sports Coupe starts at $27,550, and the sedan starts at $30,975. Both are a great deal, but I prefer the looks of the sedan myself. The powerplant's a 1.8 4cyl with a supercharger putting out about 189hp. It's one of the smoothest running 4cyl engines around.

I work at Mercedes-Benz home office in the IT department: mainframe storage, SAN admin, and Disaster recovery specialist.
