Make it Thursday, they said they were taking Tuesday and Wednesday off....Probably also why I saw a brand new C63 AMG pulling up to the Intercontinental on Cannery Row Friday with German guys toting press pass-looking lanyards lol...Also most of the people movers for the crew/press were brand-spanking new ML 63 AMG's and GL Blutec's all of which were pretty damn dope-sauce as well...Oh Marcel has some cool pics of one of the SL's doing donuts, hopefully he'll post soon....

Yupe there's an older white one I see here all the time. Maybe I can finally grab a pic of it. It's an older one with the carbon accents, but still, one hot grandpa car.

mmmmm sl65....
You bring stuff like this to a racetrack because tracking cars is expensive as far as hobbies go, and at the track you generally have guys with a lot of money for which cars are toys. You know, the kind of auto enthusiast who could give a crap that you'd buy a $150k merc and have it lose $80k of that value in a few years
and that is pretty much these manufacturer's target market

they were on the track
It was really weird though. They had 4 Black Series' on the track, and 2 C63's. They split the track in half and had two groups of 1 C-Class and 2 BS's running half the track, and then turning around and running it in the opposite direction.
Oh, and one car (I forget what model) was sent to the dealership to replace a pinion seal (???)

Good thing there was a Lotus in those pics posted in here. I pretty much needed Viagra to get me excited until I saw that Lotus. Merk's =
