And even MORE crap I bought today.
#5
I've been chronicling the purchase of upgrades for the TT. Some of them have arrived, but not enough of any one system to actually install anything.
The TT is disassembled waiting for things to show up and let me finish it. Probably $20K in parts bought and nothing actually installed yet. To keep me busy I've been upgrading my wife's C300 because I like it and its kind of a nice car. Wheels, tires, lots of carbon fiber. Stuff for the Mercedes arrives almost instantly. The stuff for the Porsche appears to be made of unobtanium.
The wife's car is <whisper> kind of gutless </whisper>. Other than that, I've really enjoyed it since she got it two weeks ago. I took it in today to get them to install some missing hardware. I thought I'd wait. This was a mistake.
So, back to the story, since I can't install all the crap I've bought for the P-car, I bought a car just like hers except <whisper> its not gutless </whisper>.
We'll be back to P-car stuff on Monday when the mythical HRE wheels and Michelins are supposed to show up. And if Speedtech can bend me some pipe, I just might get the P-Car into the Bullrun.
If not I'll be in the <whisper> C63 AMG </whisper>.

PS: I'll get some pictures of the new car on Monday but it looks pretty much like any other C63.
I guess I'm going to have to roll the BMW out of the garage and shoot it or something. If I leave my wife's C300 outside on the driveway to make room for the C63, I'm a dead man. The 993 and the 996 get to stay inside too.

Sounds like a heck of a lineup! "waiting for my exhaust so I bought a C63..." wish I had this sort of problem.

I'm getting all of my wish list purchased now before inflation makes my dinero worth nada.
I'm trying to see what I can get overnighted to me. I really would like to do the Bullrun in the TT. I'm even resigned to being filmed for TV which I hate. I did it once and swore I never would again. I've managed to avoid it for 10 years. Maybe I'll just wear a helmet 100% of the time. I've seen that somewhere....

I bought the C63 yesterday without driving it. "Bought it" is overstating it. I signed the contract and told them I would bring them a Cashiers Check on Monday. So, its mine because there is no buyers remorse clause. I'm stuck with it. I just haven't taken delivery of it yet.
My son, who I haven't seen for 7 years, is flying in today to spend the weekend with me. I'm just waiting for him. Some things are more important than picking up a car.
I'll post pics in the Mercedes/AMG section and link them back.
I'm just hanging on the internet to keep from pacing the floor waiting for his plane to come in.

I saw that car (I think it was this one) at ACG yesterday. They pulled it out and the guy left so I could get my wife's C300 in to put new tires on it.
I'm getting Peter (ACG) some smoked LED tails for it on Monday. I think they will add to it.
I've been told by other friends in LA I should think Weistec. We'll see. But I will undoubtably mod the crap out of it after I get along on the TT. Right now, The TT is the fun car. The C63 will be the going to the office with some hustle car.
