My Call
With support from all of you, I have weathered the last several weeks without coming home and drop-kicking the cat, chasing the wife down the hall with a wet toilet brush or J@(king off 5 times a day. Many of you have encouraged me, helped me track the ship and offered suggestions on coping. Thank you.
They called Friday and said it was on a truck and will be at the dealership Monday. It will have the illuminated door sills, prep etc. done and I can pick it up Wednesday. Man I hope the weather cooperates! Just in time for the wife's birthday too. She really did not like the 360 but fell in love with the CLS when we saw it in person.
Should be a really good looking car. Every option except the 030. Designo Graphite Gray with porcelain interior and for now chromed factory rims.
Just had to share....

Post pics, I want to see many pictures of my new car..
Finally, my dealer could tell me the reason for my - somewhat - late delivery:
It's the combination of designo AND 030-package. He told me I would be one of the first in the South-East who will get this "double-pick"....
You got to shoot some pics of the illuminated AMG door-sills (day and night) and tell me how much labor you paid for installation...

Congrats traumdoc. The wait is always the killer. My wife's CLS55 is somewhere on the Atlantic ocean on a lonely ship. I just hope it comes in time for Christmas.

Actually she just likes the looks of the CLS. I wanted more power so the 55 is a great compromise.
Are you tracking the ship?

They make both AMG and Mercedes-Benz versions of the Illuminated Door Sills. They are supposed to install the AMG sills on AMG's unless you specify otherwise.
