Rod's New Ride

No. They fedexed all the paperwork for her to sign and I have it with me. She doesn’t really care all that much about it. I’m more excited than she is so I’m making the trip solo.
This is my first Mercedes so it’s exciting all around. Plus I get a little taste of what the 63 will be like.

My detail guy, showed up before 8 this morning to detail the new car with Collinite wax. He's been working on my car now for 2.5 hours and still has more to do. I'll take pics when it's finished:

Yup. That’s me too. Any new car. Motorcycle. Whatever it may be. I read the manual. Familiarize myself with everything. Handle all the paperwork. I guess it’s a personality trait some of us have. My friends wouldn’t read an owners manual if their lives depended on it.

I read the manuals on everything. I'm also the keeper of all things electronic in our home. I'm level 7 on Apple Discussion forum and for fun, I help people with their iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch issues.

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
I've got both a E63 AMG and the E450 now. If it's a wagon you have on order you can cancel it and buy my car. It's a Cardinal Red Wagon with the nut brown interior.

You can't tell I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car, so maybe a "few" she was just detailed photos will suffice:

ITS IN! ITS IN! ITS IN! Got the call from Kareem, my sales guy and the car is there. It will take a day for them to prep; unfortunately they are closed Sundays and won't be done till late Monday. Tuesdays is supposed to be a horrendous rainy day, so I arraigned to pick it up noon next Wednesday. It will be cold (48 degrees), but dry.
Hopefully, they will send me a picture before I pick it up so I can initially post it.
The long await....soon over!!

They're about 25 miles away ( got the best deal with them). I had 3 dealerships to choose from. If the urge is great I could drive there, but I see it like Christmas. The anticipation of those 3 days will make it even sweeter. Now that I know the end game, it makes it easier.

Now that I have seen pics of the inside of his garage, my doors will remain closed in the future posts.

LOLOLOL!!!! I'm afraid you are now seeing the machinations of the hopelessly OCD! Knowing the new E450 would be coming home soon, last Saturday, I mopped the garage floor. It's not easy being me, no it's not!

drove her the 230 miles back from DC. What a great car. Incredibly smooth ride. Nice power, especially in the S and S plus. Did not pay much attention to the road as I was playing with all of the settings and buttons as I drove. Very happy.

Glad you like it. Be a bit careful as it's recommended you drive her in Comfort or Eco for the first 1,000 miles. Other than that enjoy and let your wife drive it while you wait for your E63. Pics are a requirement, so we'll expect to see some no later than tomorrow!!!!
