Talking Jo's second outing

Jo felt secure enough to join a EuroSunday group on a spirited drive through the back roads up to Lake Tahoe this Saturday. There was the Beamer ( some highly modified ) group, Porsche's, 2 Ferrari's and a Maserati. My guess was 20 plus cars but I'm sad to say only one Mercedes ( Cruzer 8 ).
We had a blast no mishaps and no tickets hit triple digits more than once but less than 10 times .
This car really performs it would make the other Merc's proud esp only kicked in one time corner posted at 30 we were doing 75 I did hit this one a little hot but she still stayed in the correct lane.
This new ABC in the sport mode has to be driven to be believed and the side bolsters keep you study in the seat and the car is FLAT in the corners --- I know it performs better than the old Cruzer and it was no slouch ( as a few of you know).
Yes we forgot the camera next time.
Happy Driving Guys!!!!!
