Had fun at the Mercedes C-spot Event.

[datzun]

Mercedes put on a big production here at Florida State this weekend. They premiered Tom Cruise's new movie, "The Last Samurai", let us drive around some Benz's, and are having a fashion show tonight. Anywho, I went out there this morning to see what was going on. They had a little road course set up. I was thinking that we were only going to get to ride along with the professional drivers they had, but they let us drive the C230's and C320's. The cars surprised me. When I think Mercedes, I think luxury. But these cars were very sporty. No manuals out there, but hey...cant complain when they let you drive around their cars. Let me show you all some pictures. Sorry about the horrible quality, they are stills taken from video.

They let people drive the hell out of the cars. It was fun. Here's a small clip of the course. (Not me driving):

They also had games setup. 3 total. If you won you got a point. You could only play the games once. First, there was b-ball where you just had to make a basket. Second, putting. Like put put...very easy. Lastly, there was RC car racing. They had 500 dollar RC cars out there. They were faster than my 280 I think...it was amazing :) I won at all three games. Here are the cool prizes I won:

I got a Mercedes towel, hat, and mouse.

Yes, yes I can... Drifting benz, TRAC OFF :D. Now, stop typing all 133T with your "teh". I guess they didn't have golf/putting greens at their C-spot...
