Joining the M crowd

Heys guys, I have joined the M crowd with the purchase of an ML500 Inspiration Edition. I have left the C-Class behind for a while, as new babies and C-classes do not mix well.

I really like this thing so far and it has just about every US option installed. the only thing that I am missing are the 3rd row seats, but I have found a place online to get those for a resonable price.

So far I like this navigation better than the COMAND in the C-class. It does not talk as much as the other one did.

I have alot to learn on the new class that I am in, but I will get there one day or another.

I will try and get some pix up tomorrow.

Some pix of the new wheels

Here are some pictures as we finally have a nice day here. The first change that I made was tint to the front two windows. It is 35% compared to the 20% in the rear. I think it looks ok with the different levels of tint.

Congrats again!! She's a beautiful one. Nice houses in the background too.

I love the white/silver stitching in the Iinspiration Edition models. So beautifully contrasting.
