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).

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...
