I did it!

I traded my 11 E350 4M for a 13 CLS550 4M. It's diamond white with black interior. I pick it up tomorrow. It's my 20th MB since 1983. Unfortunately there aren't another 20 left in me.

After all those years it is just as exciting as when I picked up my first MB in the Fall of 1983. It was a new 1984 380SL.

Petee - I thought you were going to wait for the 2014 E-Class diesel 4matic?

Anyway - you got something way better!

Congratulations.

Congrats. Post some pics. I can't wait to get mine in January. Lucky for me, it is always sunny here in FL so I don't need 4wd and can get the 63TT.

The new CLS is one of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful of all MB cars. I'd like to have one too mut it is a bit out of my reach...

The dealer principal at my MB store told me they will be here in Canada next Fall. This may not happen in the US. For example, we have the S 350 diesel 4Matic in Canada and I don't think it is available south of the border.

Diesels are more popular in Canada than the US. I was told 90% of ML sales here are diesels and in the Spring we will have a GLK diesel.

It doesn't look good when I look at my birth certificate. I am now 70. Ouch!!! But then again if it's all in the gene pool, I may have a chance. My mother died last year at 100 and my father is still alive and well at 98.

No kidding! Sounds like you've got a couple of more MB's to go.

Remember the health care is getting better all the time - with a few more medical breakthroughs, we are headed towards Star Trek age numbers

damn, you don't need that 997 in your garage . that thing is sitting too low and that's not good for your back . i'll do you a big favor, ship it to me ! boy, you are only 70 years young and you'll have at least another 30 years. if you are keeping the same pace, you'll make a new thread 30 years later and will tell us what your 40th mb be . i hope bi-xenon is standard across the board by that time .

May you live long and healthy with your family members and I believe we will be seeing a few MBs for next years to come
