Personal Big News / Big Thank You!

It does. These guys are very dialed-in to what's up and coming in the automotive biz. Later this month I'll probably be in Vegas for the SEMA show.

There are people in the company who make their way to Frankfurt, and just about everything else. I'll probably just be attending domestic shows.

I never thought that obsessive posting about cars on the internet would lead to a career path, but here I am! I got a real kick out of telling this to my wife, since she always teased me about my GCF compulsion.

I might be at SEMA as well. Perhaps if so we will hook up for sure! Also, this is a good leading job, seems like there are many windows to progress in your career. Again, im very happy for you!

Cool! If I go to SEMA, I'll be there on Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 1st and 2nd).

Well, just as much as I'm sure the new C will be a great car, I can't see myself in one. I'm turning 28 this week, and have the look and demeanor of a "finger on the pulse Mr. Hipster biz. cas. fridays smartass" kind of guy. I'm a Levi's person as opposed to a Bananna Republic person - so from a purely cultural point of view, a Benz is simply out of the question. I'd have to cut my hair, and people would think I'm some sort of IT specialist / Real-Estate hot shot... and perhaps a complete asswipe too.

That is so funny - lol

My brother wears banana republic and he drives a C class, so i can see where your coming from.

HA! That's funny.

To put it in more simple terms - My personality is too blue collar to jump into a Mercedes just after suffering through 5 years of living as a hand-to-mouth freelancer. Still - I could possibly see myself getting in a Benz ten years from now. Especially something like the CLS.

Heck - since my compay's working with the Benz-AMG team, I might end up in one of those cars faster than I think!

BTW - I took a look in the company warehouse last week. They had stacks and stacks of low-profile Michelins - the kind that get fitted on E55s! I was blown away.

Matt how did you let your brother buy a Benz? I expected you to teach him that BMW makes the best cars...
