It takes some nerves to start trusting the technology.
Since I don't drive my cars every day, the batteries need some time to charge before "ECO engine stop" will work. Here in Las Vegas often we sit 2 minutes at red light, so it happens to me that computer will restart engine, while I still hold foot on brake pedal.
First time it happen I almost **** in my pants.

Thanks! It's actually been about a week since it got a bath, so I think it's about time again. ;-) It's got a bit of roadrash which is to be expected though. Speaking of which, anyone know what I can do to help keep what's there from getting worse? There are a few spots that go right through the clearcoat and possibly onto the metal.
Hahaha. I love the AMG wheels to be honest, but I appreciate the sales push.

Living in San Francisco area, the trend was popular between Russians, so I have seen at least 100 of blacked out MB.
Liked 2, while at least 70 look plain stupid to me.
It takes a skill and persistence to look good.

But, I've seen pictures of blacked out AMGs that were orgasmic so... there's that.

You do have good post where you live.
Las Vegas USPost sucks big time.
I had package Fedexed with 2-day shipping, but Fedex has procedure that small packages are dropped at PO and postmaster delivers with daily mail.
So the 2-day package was hold in my local PO for 4 days, making 6 days total. That was medication.
So rant about PO aside, where are the installed pictures?

Holy crap! I would lose my **** (can I cuss on here? (censored post says no. Hahahaha.)) if meds took six days to get to me. Almost a week without them? Nope.
Hoping to install this weekend if I feel a bit better. I've had vertigo for a week and it's kicking my ***. Today has been especially bad unfortunately. But I want to get these along with the replacement parking lights installed, get the car washed, and get some good pictures to post up. Maybe I'll drive up to Los Angeles Forest to hunt for some good picture spots.

Okay, I took some shots when I went to sushi and while I was on the way home.
Hopefully these turn out okay. I haven't done forum posts in (literally) years. Let me just say I absolutely love the silver arrow hood emblem. So sexy.
(Also, feel free to marvel at my Paint editing skills. )

My first Sports car Check! My first MB Check!! I read 2013 was the last year for the Silver Star hood badge. So cool.
