On an $87k MSRP car it's closer to $6.5k off as you get the car at invoice (I verified against info available on Edmunds). You save an additional $875 because Destination and Delivery is waived (shipping is included). The tickets aren't "buy one, get one", you get a "second" ticket at the cost of taxes only. I invited 5 people thinking I was going to get 3 free tickets. I ended up buying 6 full price tickets because Delta/Air France was only $99 more for a more favorable itinerary over Lufthansa's 5 plus "1 for tax".
MB sends you MB museum tickets, vouchers for lunch at MB, 2 taxi vouchers (my taxi driver took both to get me to the airport, but only because I had forget to use one earlier).
OP- you can track your car on marinetraffic.com after you drop off your car. You'll get a login from the shipper to track on their site, but it's rarely updated. Also, the Panama Canal has live cams, I took shots of the ship as it passed through (I was going nuts waiting).

Wait, let me get this straight. You save about $10K give or take depending on the car, it costs you what, two plane tickets and $1300 there AND shipping back to the states and all customs clearance is already included? If that's the case I am without a doubt doing Euro Delivery on my next one.
Btw Vash one more question did you get to track the building of it? Like when the engine is completed, when the engine is installed into the car, yada-yada? Or is it just basically you assume that when you get there it is ready? And thanks for the info on the shipping. I am already going nuts waiting until may

Hi justdjames! haha I think I will slow my roll with the lenses. I got the 10-30 and the 30-110 for my lenses for the j1 since it came in the bundle. I am such a newbie when it comes to cameras. It took me two hours and countless numbers of unboxing videos to figure out how to remove the rear lens cap on my 30-110 FML. LOL.

Congrats! Considering EuroDelivery too, especially since I go there every year anyway and always rent a car. What dealer did you use? Sounds like they made it a breeze.

That's a good idea. I need to learn how to use this camera first though. It's not exactly a point and shoot so I am still getting use to adjusting the focus and taking not so blurry pictures. But once I get out of my newbie stage I will definitely check that place out
Hopefully by May I will get use to the camera or else my car might end up looking like a pinto from the pictures. Yea I am that bad at taking pictures right now. My dog looks like a bear ![Confused](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

That BeBe outfit is nice, but the looks maybe a bit hard to pull off right. However, I am sure you can do it. Definitely lose those heals.

Vivid Racing '09 C63 AMG
I am thinking something like this from bebe: http://www.bebe.com/Jumpsuits-Romper.../209/15520.pro
But maybe in army green and a black leather jacket. It's funny because my face looks similar to the Asian girl in the top photo but my hair in it's natural state (like right now) looks like the Brazilian looking girl in the 4th pic. Hah sorry I just noticed that.
On a side note my only worry with this outfit would be comfort level. But it makes for a great look I think especially when picking up an AMG. Fashion over health yes?![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
But yea thanksgiving was fun and lots of good food.
