Merry Christmas from MB
This may be a repeat of a previous post, but I received a nice gift from MB yesterday: a MB leather wallet with a $50 Saxs Fifth Avenue gift card. I think I can buy one sock!
On another note, am I "slow", or is the vehicle manual "package" too big to fit in the glove compartment. It is in a nice leather folio, but it is massive. Weird. What gives?

If you put it in at just the right angle (no pun intended), it fits right next to the first aid kit in the back. I would put it next to the spare as STP suggested, but all my towing junk is down there. Funny how MB engineers didn't make enough space in the glove compartment.
Speaking of that, I just realized that the CD changer can be pushed up to create more space. Then when you push the "CDC" button, it comes back down.

I am surprised they don't just load it as a PDF internally for view on the command screen. That way it would be searchable, etc. when you want to find something quick. A back-up (when the car is dead and you are really in deep do do) could be left at home or with the spare. I guess we will have to wait a few model years for a real onboard database/memory.

Boy, you must rate. I also just received a MB leather wallet and a Sacks gift card, but mine was for $25. I did, however, receive a couple of gifts from my dealer, when I bought my vehicle, so I guess I really can't complain, or can I? I gave my card to my wife as a stocking stuffer. Probably a mistake as it will no doubt cost me hundreds more........at least .

.I'd say if you got anything at all for a $65 - 70K vehicle from MBUSA you did pretty well. I haven't opened the cookies, and if you want them, they're available for bid. Any takers?

I got a really nice tin of excellent chocolate chip cookies with the dealer's name on the top of the tin in appreciation for picking up a new M5 costing just shy of $100K. I would have preferred another $1000 - $2000 off the transaction. You can buy a bunch of cookies for that kind of money.

I've been waiting and waiting, checking my mail every day.... but nothing! No gift from Herr MB Santa. I'm bummed. Maybe since I got my GL in October I did not make the list in time.... or maybe the dealer figured out what a POS my 1998 ML320 trade-in really was (I truly suffered with that one)!
