I think the same thing. Some Hoosiers or Kumhos would make a significant difference. Their tires looked like fly paper except with gravel instead of flies.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Lots of guys driving the same car. They're probably part of a car group or something.

Glad to see your having great fun with the car. Days like that one maybe swing the pendulum in favor of you keeping your car and not selling it.

I just realized that my comments on the other thread regarding selling the car didn't stick. I guess I'll have to respond again. To answer your question, I've decided to hold on for now. There's just so many reasons, although many are purely emotional, that I should keep the car. It just does everything so well that aside from not having 4 seats, it really is the perfect car for me.

You'll be surprised, Corvettes are great on the track, there were 8 brand new Z06's and lots of Corvettes on our last NASA event.

No, no pictures of my car. I did see someone taking a bunch of moving photos but I never got a chance to exchange info.

Yeah, Vettes are all over the place. In a way, that makes the SLK that much more special. Lots of people asking questions and the announcers always say compliments as I pull up for a run. Stock for stock, it does very well against 'true' sports cars.

Dude, Barbie is my fav. In fact, I surf that more than SLKworld. Not really... but those last few links are for the kids. Oh, and 'norcalcandids.com' is NOT porn although the link looks like it could be.
