Can't sleep ?

How many of you guys are waiting for your cars to come in next week and can't sleep just thinking about it. Mine will not be in until early June. I know if mine was coming in next week I would not be able to sleep with all of the excitement. I am waiting for the first post with real pictures. Who will be the lucky first post?

I won't get the C63 until '09 or even 2010, so I've been sleeping well lately. On the contrary, had I ordered the car I'd be a little nervous knowing that the 09 model would have more options and potentially less problems.
Re: '03 E55 vs '04 E55.
First real pictures post? Hmm I don't even care who posted the first C32, or C55. But anyway, congrats.

There won't be any mechanical differences between the 08's and 09's. So I doubt one will be more reliable.

I know the feeling. I've had it every time I've went to pick up my car the next day. It's like Christmas as a kid.

I thought there was a chance the C63 would be getting a new transmission.

Only the SL63 is getting the MCT transmission. Dual wet active clutches.

20+ to list......
I know my wife's car is coming in next week, but this is not our first AMG, so we'd been sleeping pretty well. I'm looking forward to sit in those sport seats though and I bet they will be more supportive than the seats in my SLK55 which is also arriving next week.

Damn man, does MB at least give you a coupon to the local IHOP for giving them so much of your business?
