Finally...got my new *baby*
wow...I just picked up my new GLK at about 12 hours ago... (1 day late as scheduled) 
After taking a 1/2 hour Seaplane ride, and then 1.5 hour on the ferry...this was worth all the wait.
If only the insurance lady could have had a better computer, network connection...
would have not wasted the hour...
I want to thank this forum for keeping me alert of issues and suggestions. There is no other forum informative like this.
Can't wait to get some pixs out soon.
Thank You.
p.s. yes my GLK had a bit of moisture at top of eyebrow. However, this is a 'known' issue as my dealer states. There is a vent on the bottom of the assembly and this is what causes the bit of 'fogging'. After bit of driving it will wear off? More later...

Congrats man! Finally! Post some pics later.
And what did you mean by seaplane ride and ferry? I thought you were in Vancouver; were you out of town?

Glad that sucker finally came in Mr Benz! And the rest of you guys too! I've only ordered two cars in my life and the wait was torture in both cases. I'm going to try and not do that again!

hint: I had to p/u in Victoria. You know the Seaplanes that take off on water...(wow I was scared first...but then it was just the darn noise) and the ferry to take me back home with my new *baby*
Yeah, I do live in Vancouver!

Did you buy it at 3 Point Motors? I know most of the guys there, my father too when he got his S class and my brothers previous B class. I like to pay a visit when I'm in town, see what's new, take some test drives.
lol I am in Victoria right now for the holidays, my immediate family is here but I work and live in Vancouver myself.
Happy holidays and congrats again!!

Overall, it was an okay experience. My best time was with Adam Mikasko.
Barry S. was not impressive at all. I had to correct the Financial Mgr. on a quote she did not acknowledge at first.
It was some drive from Victoria. Enjoyed every minute with my new *baby*
We'll need to form up a GLK Vancouver Club soon.
Best wishes for the Season and 2010

Right on! Adam is a great guy, he tried to sell me a GLK last year this time but I opted to buy it closer to where I live instead. Glad you enjoy it!!
Agreed. We need a meet!
