No - not in that sense of the word.

I took delivery of my 2014 C350 4Matic yesterday afternoon. First thing on the list was to remove the dealer license plate frame. Look what Ye Olde Jockey of Hamm Phiste did to my brand new plate...

Put down the screwdriver and step away from the car.


Ham fisted maniac for sure.

insane ... I don't understand how/why people do this - and someone working at a dealer, no less

I'm really trying not be an annoying **** about the whole thing, but come on - they're delivering $100K+ cars on a regular basis. They are telling me that Quebec plates don't line up with the MB bracket holes. Okay - so your long-term fix is to jam a screwdriver in there and spin it around? I would have built a drill jig a long time ago and run the plates through it as they get them from our version of the DMV. Better yet - establish a pestering campaign with MB until they make a modified bracket that is able to accommodate plates from all North American jurisdictions.

Other really minor issues that soured my experience: the center console trim was dirty - enough that I had to clean it myself; the sales person had to specifically ask for some glue/tape to be removed from the inside of the windshield; taillight lenses looked like they had condensation inside - I wiped my finger across them and it turned out to be dust.

There's a French people joke in here somewhere

This weekend I decided to try out the Mercedes-Benz winter floor liners that were included as part of the deal. The ones they gave me are for a 2015 and don't fit.

Most definitely. My mum is from Toronto. My cousins have taught me some wonderful jokes.
