I haven't dealt with Mark but when I dealt with my salesman and sales manager, they took me seriously when I was buying the E55 even though I'm only 25.

its just plain simple... the Benz is a car for the older generation... not for us 20-something teens... so if they see a 35yr guy walking the same showroom as my 25yr old self, i bet they would flock to the 35yr old first...
its simple business for them... go where they think the money is

I think each specific instance is just that, specific. I've been dissed before by some dealership down here in SoCal...but Penske and HOI did entertain me a little.

Yeah i visited the Wheel and Tire center but personally won't buy there since their price is way to high! If you're looking to get a set of shoes call Peter a www.wheelexperts.com

hey Viktorious, do you have any rubbing issues with your 15mm spacers? did you need to roll your fenders?
I'm noticing a little contact with the inside fenderwell covers, but just a little..
I wonder if they sell 12mm spacers, I think that would be perfect...

mmgrad,
I want to get my windows tinted, but do not like the look of a black film on a silver car. I have seen a pic of an E55 in silver with a tint called Quantim. Are you familar with this company or there quality? Also, do you have any tips on what to look for or brand that is better than others that have the "chrome or silver" finish? Here is the pic I am speaking about.....

Many tint shops carry those nowadays...
Here is a simple line-up of different types of tints...
Basic Charcoal tint is a flat charcoal/black tint
Aluminum Tint is a little reflective
Titanium Tint film is more reflective (this is what I have)
Platinum Tint film is even more reflective
What you are looking for seems to be more of a mirror-like tint... I think most tint shops use the Quantim brand you are referring to for those specific applications...
If you are interested in colored tints, they have those too (red, blue, yellow, etc...), but I would advise against that for a silver car... or any Benz for that matter.
Myself, I would recommend you getting a light titanium or platinum tint if you don't want something too dark... something like this car (guessing about 36):
