Mercedes-Benz Party
Mercedes-Benz Party
Went to a Mercedes-Benz party last night, lots of monied folk, the wine/champagne/booze was flowing, food all around, hot women all dressed out... but most importantly, saw some sweet cars. Saw the new SL55 AMG, new CLK, new E, A-class mini car, and that gawd ugly G-class truck...
I got a hookup from a friend who drives M-B. I was a bit embarassed to drive up to the valet parking in my EL, so we just hitched a ride from my friend in his ML500. You should have seen the valet parking there... a line up of all M-B cars, everything from C230 Sport Coupes, ML SUVs, S-class, CLKs, because everybody invited was a M-B owner. It would have almost been amusing for my lil' Acura EL to be in that line.

You got rent a Benz & then show up.. haha
You know what though, I think I'd be embarassed if I drove a C230 there... when everybody else is pulling up with S55, SLK320, CL600, G500, etc.. it's like.. you barely scraped enough cash to buy yourself a Benz (when your budget was a Toyota) and you got dressed up to show to this Mercedes-Benz party..

There was a C230 Sport Coupe in front of us, but man... this hot looking chick was driving it, so that is excused! But generally most of the C230 were 20-30 year old chicks. The rest of them cars were older rich folk.
Here is a pic I took of the SL55 AMG engine bay at the party...
From Car & Driver: "Make no mistake, this is a formidable automobile, mass notwithstanding. Check the motivational specs: 493 horsepower at 6100 rpm, 516 pound-feet of torque manifesting itself along a wonderfully flat curve from 2650 to 4500 rpm. It's the most potent Benz ever offered in North America, according to the manufacturer, and also the quickest factory Benz we've ever tested: 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds, 0 to 100 in 10.9, the quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat at 110 mph."
