MBUSA Price Increase

Did anybody else notice the price increase on mbusa.com, and why that happened?

Talking

Could it be the ocean is rising due to 'Global Warming' and the extra water resistance on the transport boat dictates a $20 higher fuel bill? ...RAB

young, I'm 17. Ain't gonna be for a LONG time. (You can also refer to my revised signature... *sigh)

I did make my first visit to the dealer on Saturday, though. Got my foot in the door!! (Kind of...)

thanks young. :p Actually, I'm used to the teasing. I get it a lot from IDOITBST (the other Hawaii MBworld member).

But at the same time, my philosophy is that if you start studying early, when the time comes for me to go to the dealer, I'll know what to get already!

But yeah, its cool here in Hawaii! Awesome scenery everywhere, great people, and temperate weather all year long (except for the last week, we've been in a cold rain/wind spell). Have you ever been here, I should ask?

As for the cars - yeah, we don't have as much here, but for being in the middle of the ocean, and in a long recession, it's amazing what I and my friends have seen. I've personally seen S55, S600, CL600 cars, Silver Seraphs, 911 Turbos, and a 360 Spider with California plates. One of my friends has seen a Bentley, a GT2. And apparently there's a Ferrari F40 on the island. So it's actually pretty cool here.

But alas, my time for a Benz is a long way off... *sigh

Ah, more incentive to come then! Boy, I hope I'm not related to your wife. My mother's side - the Wong side - is quite like that. People everywhere. :p

Yes, let's do plan something! A few years is fine with me, it'll give me time to buy my Mercedes!

And thank you for the encouragement - it's funny, I've only been doing this since partway through last year. And yes, cars ARE fantastic.

btw, young, my e-mail address is cjileong@hawaii.rr.com - I would love to keep direct contact in addition to this board, esp. after this thread is long dead...
