Hey guys..glad to see some of the older crowd is still around (Eric, Quang, etc).

I'm looking for someone who would be willing to do a full detail (inside, outside, polishing w/ Porter Cable, etc.) on a family member's red Mercedes. I hardly have the time to keep my car my clean.

She is obviously willing to pay. If you know of anyone, please send me a PM!

Hey JP, nice to see you pop in. The Lounge is nowhere near as active as it used to be, but just about all of us are still here. Nowadays, the best way to contact the group is on Facebook (DFW VQ Motorsports page).

Trying to organize a cruise meet soon hopefully. Couple issues are finding a location that allows everyone who wants to go to not have to drive to far, and then also finding good roads. I have had a hard time finding info online about good routes, and also worry about the old routes being changed or more torn up. Might have to do some scouting.

A lot of the good routes are up north and east in DFW, so that could be a drive for a lot of people.

Honestly, though, it's a cruise.. Should driving a little extra to find more enjoyable roads be that big of a deal?

No, but I just don't want it to end up that only a few people show for that reason. If it's the right time on a weekend though driving from anywhere should be fine.

Still looks great, and really brings out the body lines!

There are scratches and I'll be glad to point them out.
