Arrived at dealer Thur Feb 7, delivery Mon Feb 11. Wassup wit dat. I'd have that baby wrapped up like a Christmas present, ready to open friday afternoon after work, then hit the road for a nice weekend. Just kidding. I know there is a reason for everything.

You nailed it scotty. 1st son conceived in Napa. Cut our teeth on some great juice in the late 80's, but it took another decade for us to turn it into a passion. In fact, we just got back from Napa this past Sunday, about 15 minutes before kickoff. I'm waiting until Monday to pickup the 320 as I do not want to drive it's maiden mileage from Southern NJ to State College to visit the aforementioned 1st son. BTW - 2nd son joining 1st this fall - WE ARE.........................

We share interest in more than just our 320's. I have a small collection of around 450-500 bottles. I also have a friend in N. Cal that has a small winery. If I lived close enough, I would be one of his "will work for wine" friends. I am on the verge of planting some experimental vines on my property this year, to determine if I want to go full scale or not. I might as well, there are vineyards all over the Texas Hill Country these days.

Congrats on the 320. Maybe you will be lucky enough to get to drive it yourself, unlike me.

Congrats on your GL320. I just leased a E320 Bluetec here in California and I love the power of the thing. I dont even feel like driving the AMG when I drive the Bluetec. TORQUEEEEEE
