Likin' my GLK

Have had a few rough months . . . delivery was delayed. Then updating channels on Sirius. Then a weird airbag problem with me getting retrofit ventilated/heated seats (still ongoing, but a solution may be in sight). But, after driving the vehicle from AZ to WA, I'm diggin' it. Love Distronic Plus. And in Wa, with narrow streeets, the smaller size of the vehicle and the tight turning radius are very welcome.

Still hoping this is a 5+ year vehicle for us. We've never had a car longer than 2-3 years, so I'd be happy if we hit four years.

Distronic Plus....Yips we tested out that also on trip from to PEI via Halifax Canada (From Boston) More fun is the Parktronix ( had to SPECIAL ORDER that (dang cannot do url wrap on this forum anymore - maybe its my preference's)
Especially nice having that in OLD South of Boston !


Cheers and happy safe Motoring !

I've got the park assist too but out on the farm there's not much of a need for it. Might just line up the tractors and park between them for the heck of it.
