OT: MB Powertrip Yesterday
Drove over with Brian (Ulmer) (thanks for the ride, Brian!) and saw Tamara, Chris, Aaron, John and Rita there as well. Mercedes had lots of cars to test drive, including just about their full line, as well as an A4, an IS300, and a BMW. Great fun, especially the 'Hot Laps' in their AMG cars (driven by their drivers, and with helmets.) The rest were up for grabs, and they had several courses set up with cones at FedEx field. Professionally done (even the restroom trailer in the lot had A/C - I was impressed! ;-), and they had a nice spread of food and gave away some nice prizes. Tamara won an Olympus camera (congrats!).
Here's a pic of the Audi contingent in the parking lot:

Got to drive Mercedes brand new C-class coupe - not bad for starting under $25K! Very neat sliding sunroof.

Hi Ellen,
It was very good to see you and Ulmer yesterday !
I agree completely with you summary. Thanks for including the pix !
It was a first class event put on by MB.
Rita and I had a great time, even though we had to drive back with the top up due to heavy rain.
See you all in New Hope !

Just came back from it (dark clouds started rolling in)...
but it was fun! I guess the storm front helped since it was windy and not as hot & humid as I was expecting.
Christine came with me, and neither one of us had driven a Benz before. She liked the comfortable ride and steering especially after driving through DC streets...
Those hot laps were a blast! We need big open parking lots like that here in Rosslyn!
