The sole goal of Team Alavanche is to have fun this year. Well, have fun and eat tacos with a hundred of my favorite people plus a couple we just tolerate like that creepy uncle nobody can stop inviting over for thanksgiving.
we've got multiple knockoff go-pros, iphone cameras and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make sure everyone has fun

Awesome! How many spare Mercedes wheels are you bringing? You know, for science.

tacos engage. There's 50+lbs of tacos fixings in my fridge right now.
In reply to Jordan Rimpela :
1 car, 10 wheels(6 in budget)
In reply to Patrick :
You’re going to need some really long wheel studs for those.
In reply to Patrick :
But will any of them look good on my Mercedes?
In reply to Jordan Rimpela :
The 17x8.5 amg 5 spokes will possibly be available after the challenge. The monoblocks are not available ever
In reply to Indy-Guy :
This Jag ain't no trailer queen!
In reply to Patrick :
Is there more info on that car somewhere? Im trying to acquire a 98 e320 wagon for 2020 and would like to see the wheels you mentioned too
PLB ready? Going to publix.
Traveling. Is this blasphemous?
Jaaaaag and Ford SHO on enemy territory.
Eating breakfast before we load up.
Pro tip:
If you're in South Carolina and you try to take a detour and you find a dirt road, don't trust it in a lowered car. I should have turned around when I saw the speed limit sign that said "20 MAXIMUM SAFE speed...almost shook the car apart
Big boom. Lucky hood was closed.
Damn theres a new q45 radiator at my house
Good news is it cleaned under the hood great for concours. Bad news is that replacing it is out. I'm not sure why it decided to divorce itself from the car.
We're in n Florida now. Welcome center. See you all in about an hour.
In reply to Stampie :
Can't you just find any old Infiniti radiator at a junkyard in the way and swap it in the hotel parking lot? Worked for me with my G35. Just need sheet metal screws or rivets.

What happens when your chicken for the taco bar leaks in your cooler?
You rinse it in the hot tub in your suite.
