What a great time today, not every day you get handed over the keys to 60k car get handed a set of instructions and get told to "have fun...be back in 25 minutes". Only mistake we made, besides the aforementioned one on my part, was not signing up for the auto cross. The lucky ones looked like they had a blast punishing those cars....definitely will not miss the next opportunity to do this...great times...

I drove the 550i too and its was damn fast. pretty nice car, just too big for me. you definitely missed the ax, that was a lot of fun

the Benz and Lexus had no business on that wimpy ax course, i would have more fun shagging cones on the bike

No need for the rain. The Audi A4 comes with skidding package standard Understeer in every turn lol.

LOL opps my bad. I felt I was threaten in that situation so I sped up When was this? I don't remember haha.

So how's life Donny? Any mods on the E55? Did you end up getting tints?

So true.

Was the extra large steering wheel on the Mercedes an option?

I thought the Mercedes was by far, the worst car there...it wasnt even close. after launch, the damn transmission is hunting for a gear WTF? I can see if I'm braking into a turn, but not at WOT. EPIC FAIL!!!

yea their 7 speed transmission is known for a problem. It just can't find the right gear at the right time.

I'm pretty sure I saw FrancoQ at the Saturday 2pm autocross, but didn't say hi since we've never met before. Surprised he wasn't wearing his BMW F1 pit crew shirt with matching hat

I thought the Audi A4 was the worst -- couldn't get over the superlight steering and nose heaviness of the thing.

Took the X5 with the V6 turbo out for the street drive afterward. I really didn't like the previous model, but the latest redesign has me reconsidering it.

The check-in staff could have been more well-mannered, however. No smile or greeting -- just a blank stare. Umm.... how about a 'hello' or a 'what can I do you for?' And no signs for which lines were for which -- "Sorry, but you need to go to the other line." Gee, thanks. The driving instructors were a nice bunch though.

I'm still grieving the departure of BMW from F1.

I agree for the check in staff.
the guys outside were cool.
BTW, the Grand Turismo looks horrible, huge, argh.

There's an interesting volvo driving event taking place in the Philly area on 10/9 and 10/10. I'm signed up.

For those disappointed with the BMW event in Baltimore, this might just be the cure.

There will be a skidpad, drag race and of course timed auto-x. Fastest completed times wins you an ipad.

Info on the volvo website, guys. I'm signed up for the 10/10 event.

[KL2DC]

Yo stevio...I saw you on Rt 50 going onto 495 some evenings ago...nice M coupe

Life's been busy...I'm a first time daddy now to a week old baby

Mods on the E55? I cut out the primary cats and replaced them with high-flow racing cats, then I deleted the secondary cats altogether and removed the resonator. And the car passed emissions! It makes a nice sound and I've picked up some hp and improved low end torque. Other than that nothing much. I finally found that Brabus lower lip and renntech CF airbox for the W210 E55 I've been looking for but the dude wanted a little too much. I'm still aching to lower the car Hopefully soon...

[FrankoQ]

Congrats Donny!!!
Did you get the AMG crib? lol

Sounds great! Cheesesteaks!!

[KL2DC]

There's a Hyundai event at FedEx field on the 26th of this month as well. Seems like a decent set up. They are promising nice giveaways. I don't have the details with me now but it might be on the website under Hyundai Uncensored tour or something. I'll provide more details later.

[45ACP]

I'm signed up for that on 9/25, 9:30am.
