Trip Statistics
Here are the figures from my cross country trip. They include all stops, idles, short trips and long trips and interstate. Reset when I started the trip and shot the image when I pulled in the garage. I really poured it on returning with long days.

Boy-o-Boy... I'd say you did indeed pour it on during the return. Looks like you may be getting a little Stumblefoot, errr Leadfoot going yourself.
Glad the trip went safely.

Should get the fins next week and I am still debating whether to get the AMG logo.

Very few people anywhere know what AMG means, and those who do will know that the GL550 is not an AMG.
The GL550 stands out as it is...just my $.02

I was hyped on it but it has lost it's glow during my travels. I will add the fins and then re-assess the situation. These are major decisions...:-)

My sister is a quick healer and a spry 83 years. Keeps me running just to keep up with her.

Holiday Inn Express isn't bad for an overnight, but I can't imagine spending 6 days at one!

I too was hyped seeing the AMG badge but like you have cooled a bit after reading here and thinking. Good thing there are so many other GL things we can still focus on! Let us know how you like the fins. Looks like PP is selling them for $132 now! I would expect the real deal for that coin.

Contact Jerry at formymercedes.com He is selling the Schatz-Tuning fins for $99. I will be getting mine next week and I will post how they fit, look and install.

Home Sweet Home
Very happy all went so well with your sister and the trip. Looks like really nice mileage from your reports, considering the weight of the Beastie. 800 miles one day...
You are one tough man, Jack 
Really good to have you back

Thanks Mary...don't think I can do 800 miles in a day much longer...it really had me beat when I got home the next day and finally got a good nights sleep last night. Feel great today!

Sleep driving is not recommended although it can lead to some stimulating memories the next day LOL Don't ask how I know. Vegas
