New to the group

I purchased my first Merc almost two weeks back. Its the 2008-E350 with black exterior, cashmere interior, sports package, and premium luxury package II.
I love the car... its as smooth and quite as can be.
Just wanted to say "hi" to everyone!

thanks for the welcome

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I have one (not so good) picture that I am attaching. Will post more later.
I love the car and enjoy driving it. Still a little paranoid about its long term reliability but I guess it wil go away

Welcome to the group. Nice car. You should black out your license plate numbers in the pictures you post. There are tons of people on the board who highly recommend it for security purposes. Lets us know your favorite aspects of the vehicle so far.

thanks Tom for the tip. I will post another picture with the license plate blurred.
Its tough to decide my most favorite feature. The transmission, the sound system and the exterior look are the closest competitors.
The COMMAND system is my least favorite, even to the point of dislike.

Enjoy your new ride and welcome, and remember, after searching, the only stupid question is the one that is not asked. I have learned a ton here, everyone is eager to share the wealth of information we have accumulated over time.
