Noob in NH (US). 2006 E500 4Matic. Vanity Plate ideas?
TL;DR = Bought my first Mercedes after decades of volvo's and a jeep wrangler. Looking for any advice you might consider obvious but really isn't to a noob like me. I'm looking for the FAQ
Longer version follows:
I'm pretty sure saying, "E500 4Matic" marks me as a rube. Pretty sure I should be saying W212 or something more correct.
Also still figuring out what features the car has... 3 days in and I just discovered it has a 5 disc changer... very well hidden I must say. It does not have the massage seats or any flavour of bluetooth.
I'm thinking of getting a Vanity (i.e. custom) license plate. Some of the options are Mercedes specific... so call me a fool for these ideas if you haven't already got a reason:
From Janis Joplin's song Mercedes Benz:
O-LORD
AMENDS
CARLSVW : The idea here is people would say, "That's not a VW," to which I reply, "I'm not Carl."
A fun story: I pressed the "i" button in the center console and talked to the MB on-call people. I was just sitting in my garage and told them I was pretty sure I wasn't a subscriber... they were very nice and I might actually subscribe, based on the "sign up fees" etc. He said the yearly fee was something like $240. Not sure on that though.
Anyway - here I am. Hope you folks are as friendly as I hope you are.
