For those of you who missed out, all I can say is ![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
Unbelievable. no drama, no bumpers/bodykit parts flying off, no major traffic delays and everyone stayed together. The weather was impeccable. You couldn't ask for more than attaining a well planned and organized event.
What a CLASS LEVEL A group.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
My price cost breakdown of what I spent on the trip:
Pebble Beach 17-mile drive
-> Entry Fee ($9.25)
-> Waived for all 9 cars (shhhh...It's a secret)
- LUNCH
-> chef's sampler, crabcakes, calamari, grilled aritchoke ($16.95)
-> 2 FREE artichokes cause I hit on the waitress
-> 1/2 dozen oysters ($11.95)
-> cup of Clam Chowder ($4.95) It was da bomb - one the best clam chowders I've ever had and possibly better than SF)
--> 1 pint Clam Chowder To-Go ($8.00)
Dessert @ Ghirardelli
--> Fully loaded Banana Split ($9.00)
- Afternoon drink
--> $10.00
- Expired Meter Parking Ticket
--> $30.00 (Plus special droppings from the local birds that left their mark on my car)
MENTAL NOTE: If you park on the side street (metered), carry plenty of quarters and use lots of them (about 5 bucks worth to get a couple hours).
Or park in the $20.00 parking lot which is good for all day.
The parking meters along the side of the street is enforced everyday and the meter maids are very happy going up and down looking for prospects.
- Stoogie
--> $8.00 (For my good friend)
- Gas
--> $10.00
TOTAL COST = $108.85
TOTAL COST FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT AFTER SEEING THE M5
.........................PRICELESS...................
I have one picture that will blow your mind.![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)
I snapped this pic after lunch in the parking lot and it was "hella funny".
Now that I look at it carefully, it's a triple FAILED and can u guess them?
- It's not an M5
- The M5 emblem ("5" is backwards)
- i (it's still on the car)
What was the person thinking.......?![Uhh...](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/1387914497.gif)

also, the trunk- real m5 does not have a keyhole to the right of the license
from the front, you can tell by side mirrors, fender gills and front bumper (if you took a pic of it on the black 5 series)

Many thanks to the organizers, what a wonderfully organized event. It was great to see old friends and new acquaintances. My family and I had a great time. Here are a few pictures:

Thanks to Chris "lightwave76 and Brent "Lexus_IS08" and Nikki for scouting out the route, stops and restaurants so everything went smoothly.
Thanks to Tee for "swinging" the Freebie entrance to the 17 mile drive. We're sorry you took a hit on the parking ticket in return.
