Anything to ease your "suffering", Jack. I will make sure to bring the PokeMon deck to decide this once and for all

Nice build NevadaJack. I saw the Verde Brook w/Macadmia GL550 @ Ray Catena and it was an absolute stunner. The wheels were amazing to look at

Have not heard from Waiting-4-550. Do you think he is contacting his dealer?

Guys,

You guys are too cruel... I may be forever "Waiting-4-550". I'll have to call my MB dealer and tell him that my 2 Bimmers really belong to my wife.. I won't go down without a fight.... LOL

I hear he's planning to fly to the Vegas meet to steal "his" truck back.

I might just have to make it to Vegas to negotiate back my GL550.. I'll be willing to resort to bribery if needed... Sin City seems to have enough availabe to make people happy...

Breaking News....Done Deal!

Just closed on the GL550, but this is a different one they also had which Greg missed last night. This one has a build date of 8/13 and already has a VIN assigned which means it is ready to build and may already be in the line? 2/3 weeks to Denver after completion. Delivery first week in September or if lucky the last days of August.

Identical equipment but no Mat and Storage Box.

Impressed by your persistence.. You'll now be amoing first to have GL550.. I'm really thinking price tag is scaring away buyers.. Only real men go ahead and place an order.. Just like your S550 which aren't a dime a dozen either!

And, thus begins part deux of NJ's GL saga. Hopefully, this one will be shorter than the previous one and will have a happier ending.

I just cracked open a cold one of Diet Coke for you Jack. That's how happy I am

So 5 months waiting for 320 plus another 2 waiting for 550 equals 7 months and that ain't bad

I don't think the price is a factor with this GL...you either want it or you don't. From what I understand most dealers do not have too many unsold slots and the car is not even advertised or officially released yet.

Auto spies said today they would be test driving the GL550 in Utah this week...at the same time they said the GL320 was the best buy in a big SUV!

Just saw autospies video of GL550.. I'm like a little kid.. Can't wait to get mine... Big tristar emblem, AMG wheels, fender flares and chromed side steps... Yeah it's all good! I'm gonna be one happy camper. Glad I waited for this one.. Just like my 750 this will be well worth the wait... Gotta keep cutting edge with the rides
NJ thanks for the lead on autospies- I'm thristy for leads
