Just got the call I've been waiting for. My truck is being prepped and I pick it up tomorrow AM. A couple of things worth mentioning. I had decided too late in the process that I wanted the lighted door sills. I asked now about dealer install and was quoted a grand. Decided to take a pass. They are installing blue tooth adapter which they say is needed to integrate phone with the MB system. $400. I had talked to them about a policy they are offering to cover damage to the wheels. New York and our infamous potholes....Originally he had quoted me a one time price of apx $700 but now he found out that AMG wheels demand a $995 price. I was considering at 7 but I'm not sure at 1K.

That sounds like it is worth it. Is the wheel ins. through your auto ins. company or through MB?

Jack...I will check with my salesperson, but I'm wondering if the premium is not location specific. I'm not sure if I have the right # or not but is it Route 15 out of Vegas? Whatever, I'm sure it doesn't look like the East River Drive. Dealer called me to tell me my truck is attracting a crowd. Half jokingly he asked me if I wanted to flip it? He said I would make out like a bandit.

Man, I would hate to ruin one of those 21" AMG wheels. Anyone have an idea how much one of those would run?

I wonder if GL board is the only one to have a father/son combo posting together.

I-15 is correct going southwest toward LA. The other end of I-15 going North meets at the "spaghetti bowl" with US95/93 going North. They have been working about 3-4 years to make this from a 6 lane to a 10 lane (both ways) outlet so it may just look like Westside Drive...:-) Very possibly the NY fees are higher than here, although we have one of the highest insurance rates in the country.

The place is still growing so fast that they no more than finish a road and they have to start all over. 93/95 is about 6 months away from being completed and will help the load of traffic from the NW (Summerlin) areas getting in and out of town. But that interchange at 93/95/I-15 will always be a mess no matter what they try.
Glad you will be joining us for dinner at the meet.

Where are you guys planning on staying? We are trying to find a group of 10 people who will need rooms to try to get a discounted rate at one of the places on strip.
Look forward to seeing you, your dad and your 550.

Hey Dodson - the more the merrier and we will be glad to have you and your Dad join us. I can't speak for the Friday night dinner since Stumble is working on that but I am sure we will figure something out. Worse case we will have my kids sit in our laps and you and your dad can have their seats ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Bill and I would be up for a discounted rate at one of the strip hotels if you can swing it...what places are you thinking about? Maybe we can make the magic #10, yet! We usually use the HIlton chain but I don't particularly like the Vegas Hilton (actually, we hate it-- reminds me of a disorganized zoo

I'll probably be staying through Oct. 31 so I can attend the SEMA (auto) show which starts on Oct. 30.
