Obviously, phonetics does not mean polite.

Definitions of rude on the Web:

ill-mannered: socially incorrect in behavior; "resentment flared at such an unmannered intrusion"
ill-bred: (of persons) lacking in refinement or grace
uncivil: lacking civility or good manners;

Maybe if he lives to my age he will learn what it means to be "polite" Jayhawk.

I really don't worry about it...you are what you are...:-)

Ooooh, phonetic is lucky you got here before I could. I would've given him a mouthful. If you read some of his posts around here, they're not all exactly smart or polite.

Hey NevadaJack,

What's your anticipated date again? Reason I ask is because I was called by our salesman and he had told me that Premium III incurred another very slight delay in production? Truth? ...

My date was changed Friday to 1st Decade in May from 3rd Decade in April...which results in about a 10 day delay in delivery (now probably second week in June.)

I don't know what the specific delay was...I did not order P3 but I do have the Multi-contour seats as a stand-alone...that could be it?

What is your current build date?

Jack,

What is that "...1st Decade in May ...3rd Decade in April" stuff all about? A decade to me means ten years, but that is obviously not what you or MB are talking about. Translate please.

The production month is broken down into three 10 day periods called Decades. 1-10, 11-20, and 21-30. A car scheduled for production during a decade can be built anytime during that period. I am hoping for a early 1st Decade build, meaning the 1 thru the 5th of May but it could be as late as the 10th of May.

Hope that helps...

Thanks Jack! Only Mercedes Benz could change the definition of decade from years to days!!

Jack - Some other threads on the forum have been heating up about the way FJ-LV treats customers in the service lane, particularly when a car is not purchased from their franchise. Could this be an issue for you ?

Friday I stopped by and talked with my sales guy...told him since he said August, I bought one from Glauser. You would think it was about to snow...turned from friendly to very cool. Tough s***...he had his chance and could not deliver.

I was concerned about the "preferred" treatment for preferred customers (those who buy from FJ.) I stopped in and talked with my SA. I told him I wanted to ensure my preferred status was carried over to the new car. He said don't worry about that...you deal with me not sales and I will take care of you. He then thanked me for the nice remarks I made on the MBUSA evaluation of service. We have a great relationship and the Moet Chandon at New Years sealed the deal I think...:-)

What threads are heating up about this situation with FJ?

Jack, you selected the standard wheels right?

Those optional multi-spoke wheels IMO are disgusting!
