New owner introduction

Greetings all! I took delivery of my new 2005 C230 Sport Sedan a couple of days ago. Waited three months for the factory to build and delivery my car. Simply put - It's AWESOME!

Being this is my first MB, I find it odd that the only way to open the gas cover lid is to unlock the door. Is there any way of unlocking the cover without unlocking the door? (In NJ we are not allow to pump our own gas, so there's no need to get out )

Happy 4th! Going cruisin' now...

Got a pretty good deal at David Michael. 1.9% financing (36 months). The sticker price was $37K. Got $4K off that (including coupon).

As soon as I got home, I replaced the hood ornament with the Schatz flat emblem. So much better.
