Was it the Renaissance in Schaumburg? I'm there a few times a year for trade shows. My work is only about 10-15 minutes away from there.

no Sir...I hold Marriott's Elite membership...so any marriott facility worked for me like Fairfield/Residence Inn or even Courtyard, they are all "preferred hotels" to my company so which ever gave me a better room and breakfast was the one I used to stay at haha...

I usually was at the Courtyard right by Woodfield Mall ...

We had pretty amazing weather this weekend in Phoenix and the wife and I went for a nice 45 mile bike ride on Saturday. After seeing 5 Ferraris and a handful of Porsches, including a nice gt3, I was pretty happy with the scenery. We got to our halfway turnaround spot, a little gas station in the middle of nowhere, though, and my jaw dropped...





Two guys were eating candy bars in the parking lot, and said it was their friend's. They must not have been locals because they were asking me how to get to a highway where they could open it up some. I had to break it to them that they were 20 miles from any road with a limit over 45mph. They were like "guess we are stuck in second gear!"

This was just traded in at work. I thought it was wrapped but it's actually paint. I'm assuming it was a factory option?





Sorry for the white balance difference. iPhone 5S

Beautiful. Yeah, Designo Magno is the MB version of BMW's Individual Frozen paint. I've only seen it at an auto show, but I found the magno paint to be really course in texture. So strange.

Did the dealer add the red details? Not sure how I feel about the new c63. I think the previous gen hit all the marks.

Had our annual Devil's Highway Run this last weekend and this showed up:

1972 3.0CS. Original owner. 75,000 original miles. All original everything (never restored). It made the whole drive with no mechanical issues. It wasn't fast, but it did make it.

It does look CLAish.. the look was never really polarizing to me. Just that garmin looking navi/infotainment screen.

I wasn't saying it looks like a CLA. I was saying their intro sedan looks better than the next model up (almost entirely from behind). The taillights are god awful IMO.

What really pisses me off is they are making the C63 estate.. yet again, we can't have it. Looks freaking fantastic of course..

idk.. we still get E63 estate.. just not the C63. I did see the F1 C63 estate fly around the track several times.

The new one is quiet AF.

There is no demand, though. At least, not enough to justify bringing them here.

The last AMG Wagon we had (E63) in our inventory had to be special ordered, and sat for a couple months when the original owner backed out.

I am sure thats because of the price tag...the RS6 Avant is about 150K USD

I am sure they can make a us spec version and around 100K USD...there is a reason why I cant find a single CTS-V Wagon!

Isn't the 959 fantastic in person? I would love to see one again.
