One thing about new vehicles......it brings back the feeling of being a kid again
They are going to call be when the carrier arrives and I'll be on my way to take a look! Told them to please double check the tire pressures and oil level on the PDI........... they said that MB is now requiring them to do a complete PDI twice on the vehicle. Sounds good to me........
Still will believe it when I put my hand on the door handle.................

They gave me a copy of the PDI checklist and everything was checked off even though my tire pressures ranged from 38 to 46 psi. I would highly recommend double checking them when you get it. Good luck with everything and I hope you love the car as much as I do......

You know......I'm one of those crazy people that actually does that
Now all of this is going to happen ONLY if the truck actually gets there today as it is supposed to do...........can you tell I'm not 100% confident in what I am told!

Since the 450's are flowing like wine, the parts delay for the 320's must be related to the diesel engine. Wonder if MB ran out of the new intercooler hoses...nah, MB would never do that...:-)

Have the owner's manual in hand......couldn't resist! Dealer called said it had arrived.....drove about 35 miles to go see for myself! Delivery is tomorrow. The vehicle looks as advertised, except it does indeed have the black plastic bumper pad. To the rest of the "waiters".....hang in there....one look (and smell!) inside the cabin and you will agree it was worth the wait! Mine will get an immediate workout.........about 900 mile roundtrip to New England beginning Thursday!
