Thanks, some cool ones in there.

nice pics alee, what was your impression of the mercedes GST?

How big is that puppy, I heard it is S -Class length

The Ford GT, Porsche GT2 and AMG SL55 get my vote!

The GST was MASSIVE. Using the S class as a gauge, it kinda looked like 3 S class cars stacked.

I thought it was a neat idea, and Mercedes had a half dozen folks with clipboards doing user opinions on what they liked and didn't like about it. Smart move I think. :thumb:

Fingerprints was one thing... watching the guys with the detail sprays use dirty rags going in circular motions was heartbreaking.

Autoshow cars get so abused...they probably use them as crash test sleds later in the year. Every time I go to the Philly show I am amazed at how bad people treat the cars...food in a $100K MB...let their kids scratch them up with belt buckles etc...sad to see. :bawling:

I would doubt little if anything that Al would do around a large room of new cars:dunno: Some of which would not be safe for those under 18:yikes:

thanks for the posting those pics, I am probably going to go in the next day or two.

Alex-

Even at BMW's main dealership in Munich I saw a cleaning woman cleaning an M3 convertible w/ what looked like glass cleaner and a dirty rag!

I can only second that. The fact is that you don't see much dirty cars on the road. However the product availability for detailing products is very very limited. For instance Quick Detailer is a foreign word. I have never seen someone who knew what a QD is.

Strange but true.
