Granite Grey Beauty...
I still can't get the smile off my face. (Ride home from the dealership). Fellow Mercedes drivers nodding their heads in appreciation. I even got a thumbs up and a "hey nice color" from the guy in the 325i Bimmer, next to me at the stop light. Im off to work, just thought I'd post a couple pictures.

I got the car so fast because I got the automatic instead of the manual. The day I went to order my car, I read the dealers stock invoice. The same exact car I was going to order, was being detailed for the showroom floor. Since I do live in the Bay Area, where traffic is horrible I knew I could hang with the auto tranny. I hope everyone enjoys their car as much as I do.

2 1/2 yr w/ no problemI now live more dangerously w/ the painted grille. Some Sheriff was making a left turn from the side street and I was the first car at the light and he kept looking at the front of the car as he was turning. I thought he was gonna turn around and give me a ticket or something.

thats true and SD as well. plus the camera lights are in just about every suburb now. depending on police dept though and especially the cop whether they will stop you. my mom got stopped just for having no front plate in beverly hills.

but when I was out w/ my dad in our ML430, we were going like at least 85-90mph and the cop only drove by and used the megaphone said "slow down" and then drove away.
