Well, I didn't but my dad did . Some punk kids threw a soda can at his S500 when he was in a resturant and it made a little dent on the hood, so my dad traded his car in for a brand new CL600 . Driving it is absolutely awesome, I love the roar of the V12. It's just another few months until my CLK 55 comes in . It was really cool when my dad called me up from his mercedes phone and told me to come outside and there he was in a CL600, lol.

Congrats to you dad!!

But where are the pics pls?? Color opts???

Accord

He is coming over again later tonight, but I don't have a digital camera. It is Designo Silver, the car is beautiful.

Accord

I think a Mercedes/Sony digital camera should be an option on all Mercedes .

Buy or Lease and how much??

adam, what exactly is the diff between designo silver and brilliant silver?

hmrdwn

Don't tell me he's buying your CLK55 as well...

Accord

You mean John? hehe. The car is completely loaded, it was around 150k but since he buys and trades cars at the dealer like every 3 months they gave it to him for only 120k. The Designo Silver is more of a tan, than a brilliant silver, but it is not quite desert silver. It's right in between Brilliant Silver and Desert Silver.

I've seen those Designo Silvers and they look very nice and sharp!! IMO i think that's the best color for MB but i believe that's something extra or an option right??

Accord

Well, he got the whole Designo package, with the special interior and everything.

JamE55

Niceee!

Can't wait for the pics!!

congrats to the family!!!

Designo Silver is such a beautiful colour; however, the interior is such a pain to keep clean. Besides that, CL600 already got all the decoration you can have (as far as I know, the differences between designo and non-designo is the colour).

That's great. Congrats to your dad.

Accord

I am now trying to talk him into Kleemanizing her, hehe. Not sure if Kleeman has a program for the 600 though.

The interior is no problem, my dad is the cleanest person in the world, he spends like atleast an hour every day cleaning his car. Well, thats how much he spent on his S500... he will probably spend 3 hours cleaning it. Even if it doesn't need cleaning, he will clean it, lol. He takes a lot of pride in what he owns.

Hey John!

Got the pics yet??

Accord

Nope, whenever I try and upload the pictures to my computer it says there is a missing file and I need drivers for my camera, so I looked on Sony's website and I could not find anything.

Does anyone know where I could download drivers for my camera? It's a Sony.

My dad is taking the car to the dealer in a few days to get the lighted door sills and all the other little accessories like that installed.

John

Not really sure where you can find the drivers but if you e-mail me your pics i can have it posted. E-mail me at johnno@pcmall.com and will post the pics for you.

Thanks!

Accord

The problem is getting the pictures onto my PC, I can post the pictures once they are on though. The camera is having "communication problems" with my new PC.

JamE55

How is it being connected? USB, serial or parallel??

Accord

USB

JamE55

And you said you're having "communication problems"?? If it's USB it should be just a simple Plug and Play. What problems/error is it giving you?

Accord

I connect the camera to the computer>It goes into "USB Mode" automatically>When I try and get the pics off the camera it says "Connection Problem, check for updated drivers">Well there is nowhere to download "updated drivers".

Sony Sucks!

John,

When your dad bring the car in, he can also request the phone upgrade (the new V60C for CDMA, or V60T for TDMA). The phones are in.

That's really interesting. Normally when you connect to the USB it shouldn't require any drivers at all because all of the drivers are pretty much built in Widows. In any case get us the pics once you have it.

Thanks again John!
