Randy, you can always add those vented seats.

What is the airmail for the factory tour? Are you also going to the Classic Center, MB Museum, or Porsche Museum?

I did get the the phone....but I bought the voice control and phone system on ebay, and I'll install it once the car arrives home.

I refuse to buy the sat radio until MB designs a new antenna.

airmail for the factory tour? :p

Not to be snide, but: Who're you punishing? Get the damn Sat Radio. You'll never listen to ANYTHING else again!

Having done similar trips in France and Italy before, one con we know of already is too many one night stays. Our experience is that 2-4 night stays with day trips works better.

In Italy we stayed in San Gimignano, did a trip to Firenza, a trip to Siena, a trip to Chianti. We think we may be squeezing too much in.

If you install the antenna under the rear deck in the trunk it is out of sight and works just fine
