Headed up to MBUSA today

Hey Guys

i picked up an 05 mercedes e500 a couple weeks ago. turns out one of my customers works at mercedes benz usa. he invited me up to headquarters to have my car fully serviced and for a tour of the place. he let take these pictures.

theres millions of dollars in cars all over the place. prototypes covered up engines in dyno rooms. really an awesome experience.

1st photo is one of the private bays.




new SL AMG prepped








the best for last. This is the Mclaren SLR in for engine work.



fender is removed. looking into engine bay.


im standing in the engine bay.




carbon ceramic brakes 10k per rotor.





one of the fuel tanks












on my e500 we changed the oil,trans fluid changed the right upper ball joint and set the ride height via the star computer set up the voice control and ordered up the bluetooth modual.

now thats customer service. see it pays to know people lol.

later
Aldo

Thanks for the welcome. Very nice forum. I own a Crispy Critters Hobby Shop in totowa nj. High end r/c cars trucks and heli's.

one of my buddies is a car wholesaler so he gave me the hook up on the car. my wife totaled our 07 altima so what better time to get myself a new ride.
