you have an e63 wagon?... i'm shopping that vs a panamera gts to replace my daily 535xi wagon. how do you like it? I almost purchased one at Mercedes marin.. was a beautiful blue one but the sales lady was absolutely the most insufferable individual I had ever met.. i tried hard to get over it but I left the car because I couldn't bring myself to listen to her speak another word. kind of regret it as i don't see many blue ones...
anyway.. how do you like yours?

Pros - practicality (HUGE trunk); fantastic sound; 5 seats; great engine; large cruiser feel
Cons - large cruiser feel... it's definitely one of those cars that feels smaller when you drive it fast, but Panamera still feels more nimble. The transmission is relatively poor, and I have the best version of it (2016 was updated)

What car will you be driving on Saturday?.. Did you see my event post in NORCAL Porsche group on Fb? Look forward to meeting. We can take it slow... Not many different routes to get there... Skyline to backside of hwy 9... As scenic and curvy as it gets

I'm not a member of the FB group (just submitted a request though).

A fast wagon with a v8 is a worth exception.. Just slap a Porsche badge on the meecedes hood ornament and we'll pretend it's the new panamera.
Arrive at Alice's whenever, leave for canepa by 830am.

What's "Alice's"? I was planning on leaving earlier to get a nice drive in and beat traffic, but with a kid in tow, I may not be able to leave until 8am anyway. I'll PM you my # so perhaps we can meet up at Canepa, even if I miss the SF drive down.

If so, I'll definitely meet you there, I'd probably have to leave home by 7:30-45 just to get there anyway.

YES!.. the drive down to Canepa through highway 9 is pretty spectacular.. you're going to love it.
Ah, near Portola Valley? Is this it? http://www.alicesrestaurant.com
