Alright, so what I am thinking is best guys is to go with one that is set up already, im trying to find contact information for Roger Thomas who does an annual car show every year in the spring for the exact same charity, Cheo.

I will get in contact with him, and ask if we can arrage to have tents for Slick Automotive, and Ft86motorsports, possibly Dipit.ca?

I am excited to hear all of your positive response, thank you! I will update once I hear from Roger Thomas,

wish I could make it tonight, but had a accident with my car today.

I went for a 150km cruise today! Was amazing. I took some pics, here is one close to the water.

Test drive 1 CLA50. Not good. Weak, inconsistent revving engine.
Test drive 2 C300. Nice engine. Outstanding ride. Exterior not sporty enough! None in stock or coming in soon. Problem as my baby is going away in 3 weeks.

Test drive 3 Lexus IS300 F Sport. Not as fast as the C300 but close. Better looking for sure. Ride quality good. Less cost to maintain. Can use regular fuel. LFA dash cluster is really cool. Sport + mode was very good. Paddle shifters not as engaging as our manuals transmissions. Conclusion: Will be buying tomorrow night. surprisingly my wife wants black with red interior. I was very impressed. Sad to say, once again I knew more about the car than the salesrep. Will post pictures at end of month.

Excellent.
Funny, I was just pricing out that exact model this weekend also. IS250 AWD with F-Sport 3 Package....
Seems like a solid car.

It IS just your wife's car lol
There is the same car at work red interior too - the guy is recently divorced and immediately bought the Lexus

1-2% over dealer cost? Lol I bet there is no dealing on that car!

Part 1/2 of Quebec Safety Check... Check

Part 2/2 coming to a mechanical verification center near you

In all seriousness I should be able to get the mechanical inspection done either late this week or early next week followed by a trip to the DMV and the followed by a gigantic parking lot burnout(not the dmv parking lot give me a bit of credit... abandoned Costco lot)

Have you tried to convince her that AMG stands for A Mother's Gift? or something like that, it might just work lol

Oddly enough when my wife saw the AMG GT commercial she commented that she would like one of those.

I suggested that if she could afford one I would be happy for her to get it.

DMV parking lot burnout would be epic though

You'll have it ready to go just in time for SNOW lol
