Our GLK350 4matic has landed...
...in Texas! It came off the truck Saturday morning. Of course I was in Houston. Going to get it next Saturday.

My salesman took the picture after it came off the truck last Saturday morning. It is in the shop now for mud flaps. The tires are still a mystery.

Thank you. Palladium silver looks awesome in sunlight. The photo above doesn't do it justice.

While everything is more or less fresh in my brain: The Timeline | Beginning to end.
Sept. 3, 2011. Made all of our selections & paid deposit.
~Sept 12, 2011. Phone call confirming build in late October/Added Lighting Package.
