2011.
Twenty Eleven. Two Thousand Eleven. However you say it, there is one thing for sure- what a year it was!! I honestly do not even know where to begin; the level of work, workload, projects and art that came out of this shop this year was unmatched and truly uncanny. Dream team collaborations, national recognition, print magazine and international web features are just some of the unbelievable things we here at MAC have experienced in 2011. January 2011 started much as 2010 ended- repairing BMW's as only we can. Aluminum front structure replacement E60: Then the good vs evil builds began making some waves: Project Hammanal AKA the MONSTR first reared her head soon after: Then came the BLIZZARDS. What felt like one ass kicking after the next- literally FEET on top of FEET of snow fell in the NE. No one was open, no one left their house, and the roads were impassable. Oh yeah, except for MAC! The snow brought back some Alpine White: 1/20/11 brought some SWAG into our lives: February 2011 brought us closer to our artistic side, with collaborations with famous hip-hop inspired artist Rashaad Newsome: Then... another 24"s: The introduction of the first BIMMERSTOCK Calendar: The Strikeforce signed MAC sponsored MMA fighter Gian Vilante: MAC built M6 makes it onto the WWE: Jerry brought in his life sized restoration project: |

February 2011 we announced MAC was now one of only 200 certified Mercedes Benz shops in the USA:
Winter brings hibernation for larger then life creatures: March brought with it another collabo; this time with D2Forged. Official press release: The 6th delivered 2012 A8 in the USA came in for some MAClovin' Swagzilla leaves us, for the first time: MONSTR (MAC/ ADV1 collabo) leaves us, for the first time: A good friend and client asks us to pick up his new R8 from the dealership and "have my way with it" Spring brings citrus punch: We were asked to display some of our work at the UFC fight in NJ 3/11. The UFC doesn't have to ask twice: I'm pretty sure I could take Banter weight Champ Dominick Cruz: Why 5-0 be hatin'?!? |

Starting in April, there was a LOT of screwing around:
There comes a time when you need to stop the screwing: Maybe time to start screwing again: BMW seemed to like our idea of "Frozen Silver(stone)" and start making it themselves. It's cool; imitation is the highest form of flattery: We also picked up two brand new M3s from the dealer, just to then take them apart: And with that, started the Active Autowerke / MAC collaboration that would be hailed by many to be THE builds of the year: Along that same time, we were asked if we would present again at the NY International Show. After checking our calendar we said, "um, fugg yes". And brought out all the big guns- including Power105's DJ Norie: The 2011 NYIAS brought the unveiling of Mean Green and The Chop Top: How'd this slip in there? |

May came, and in with it a LP Roadster project. Heck even Lambos need a lil updating sometimes!
Another lil project we managed to sneak in... Worlds first fire orange e90: The Rallye Motorsport Show was a success, 3 for 4 I believe; I told Joe we need something old in the fleet!! Then it was Mikey's turn to win some shows: June brought Bimmerfest, in California, and the MAC built AA Reventon grey M3 hurt feelings: Followed soon after by MAC being featured by the PPG Reporter magazine: Formula Drift in Miami with the boys from ADV.1: Not all show biz- another M6 Grav repair! We then started a "little" Thursday night meet: By the end of June, it was already insanity: Turning out Lambos like nathan!! We also started messing with this thing... called HPF The "perfect storm" builds continued to bring car porn to the masses: ...and then we cut up another M6 |

In July Joe decided to show the Viper Club what a M3 could do:
We also got the cover of Car Buzz: July also had some sadness as we lost our friend Bishnu. Bish had said not too long before his death that Thursday Nights in Glen Cove were his favorite meets ever. We then dedicated it to his honor. RIP BISH Does everyone know we also do Ferraris? One of our first frozen cars came back for some more: Then the now famous "Shade of M" video dropped.... sorry again to the comp: |

August brought with it the cover of Bimmerpost!!
Project White Lightning stage one was completed. She's just returned (ninjas ain't ready for 2012) Adrienne gave me something to think about in the shower: Peeps were still gettin' blown at MAC Vorsteiner then crowned us the King of M3s on their website: Did I mention we were doing meets on Thursdays? The Chop Top started attracting suitors; first came HRE: |

September brought some excitement with the third annual Bimmerstock bringing some 700+ cars to the City of Glen Cove and the 100% charity show raised nearly $60,000.00 for the Diabetes Research Institute!!
Another one for the record books. How do you top this? Answer: you don't. MAC. ADV1. Enzo. Game over thanks for playing!! Quote:

October brought with it a five page feature in BIMMER MAGAZINE:
THEN the COVER of EUROTUNER: We were also asked to participate in the NYC Columbus Day Parade, ummm, OK! November 1st the MAC team was in Vegas, killing it over at SEMA. The Escalade was taken there courtesy of SONY to show off her new 15,000 watt system. Came home, got back to business, quick. Doing a full Mansory build on a DB9: November 20th it was again time to give back- we sponsored the D2 Toys for Tots run: |

December started out just nuts, finishing our boy's SLK55 and trading it out for his Superleggera:
2011 marked the release of the highly anticipated 1M. Although it is a very rare car, we were still busy fixing them! December 3rd we already announced the date for Bimmerstock 2012 (9/9/12)!! As you can see, productive and exciting simply can not even begin to describe the past year. All that we've done and all we've accomplished could not have happened without all of our friends, customers, and supporters on this site. Simply put- without you, there is no us, and we are so very thankful for your continued support!! And if you think we've done a lot already, wait for 2012, you ain't seen NOTHING yet!! |
