So, I suppose some neat spot near the freeway for our test drives would be sufficient?
Maybe we'll have AsianML bring the beer while he languishes in the trunk! Wait, never mind, we'll all be thrown in jail.
This is better than a soap opera...Nevada Jack's MB adventures, presented in HD, 7:00pm Pacific, every Monday night on Discovery HD! Tomorrow night, NJ contemplates his routing with the input of several of his yet unknown internet best buds!
You guys had better keep me away from NJ's S550 as I might just stand behind it, all alone...
It sure is a sweet whip! (NJ - we'll see how you remember the lesson on slang from 2 months ago 
)

I'll bring something to drink, be sure of that.
I demand some sort of deal with the TV series. I first thought of it so I want like a 33/33/34 deal with you and Jack on the profits. The 34 of course will go to me

Great fun...this is what life is all about...spending money on depreciating assets, hyping yourself over a piece of sheet mental with a motor, and laughing about it.

Before we get out of Phoenix ( we are taking the east route through Albequerque, aren't we...Asian ML needs his beauty sleep after taking thorough notes on performance specs for us ) I will have you able to converse with my 9 year old daughter. Where do you think I learn it from? 
CE750 would spend the entire trip looking for the gear up switch...maybe the Maybach could have that installed, so as to make him feel at home?
I will donate my portion of the TV proceeds to NJ - gas prices ain't cheap these days and with all the driving he's going to be doing, he'll need the extra dough.

I passed on the 19" multispoke wheels since they are staggered Z rated tires and cannot be rotated and also they offer a slightly louder, harder ride than the 18" touring tires.

I thought about the LE (in fact they had one in stock for March delivery) but I really wanted the Distronic Plus feature. My MSRP came to $96,625 which is about $4K cheaper than the LE but still has a nice list of options. Also I am really partial to grey leather.
Lets see some pic's when you get delivery...you are going to love that thing...:-)

But I don't know if you'll be driving with a lead foot.
But then again, you'll still have to obey the break-in period rules.
But then again, it's your car.
So many questions!
