TODAY MY BABY BLACK MERC WAS BORN AT 12:45PM EST : > ))))

[B]

Well the waiting is over!!! I finally picked-up my Merc from NJ today. I'll tell ya, its a good thing I was able to take a 2008 and 2009 C63 for a blast (M mode) several times to get a good feel for the beast oops I mean car. Now, I'll need to take it kinda easy for 1K mile ... Just today I put on 70 miles. On the online computer it EST 14.8 per/G, I guess its Not to bad, I've been in "S" most of my drives but I think MB said to stay in "C" mode for 1K mi

I'll have pictures to follow, but the dam weather is getting bad here (lots of heavy rain) in NY throughout Sunday. Maybe some garage pics tomorrow if I get the chance. CHEERS TO ALL!

22.2mpg? Wow. The best I've managed is 18.8mpg, and that was driving in cruise control @75 for about 100 miles.

Congrats on your new car

Babe it for 2k and it will reward you. Can't wait for the pictures, I was told by my dealer that no PP, Mirrors, or Wheels are slated for the US, one could order but "you never see it" Is he just blowing smoke?

As far as mileage, I have 2700KM about 1800 miles or so and I have never used the trip computer for gas mileage, I didnt get this car to watch what mileage i can pull off, thats just me...all I know is the guy working the night shift at Sunoco knows me by my first name

For the most part, its perfectly fine ... Once and while if you go over many bumps in a row, it quickly reminds you that you're driving a sports car

I'm pretty sure he is 99.9% full of crap... Go to the largest dealer you can find and they should be able to help you get what you want

I'm also not concerned about the gas mileage, it was just stairing me in the face when I last got out of the car. Its most likely not acturate anyway. The dealer had me go through all of the system functions while car was running for a while soooooo yum yum eat'em up was happening

Shame about the mirrors, but with such a fantastic car you'll soon forget it.
