I just installed a rear seat refrigerator in mine. Stealer ship wanted $6k. Spent $74 and saved labor by doing most of the install myself. Hey does anyone know where the 110v AC receptacles are in a 221? May need an extension cord.

I am way over my head, but I believe that batteries was a good start.

I'm calling in the heavy hitters, Vlad's electrical guy, to diagnose the issue. I hope hes not using a harbor freight scanner.

Yeah, after three in a row and ten years I'm all S Classed out. I happened to get a C300 as a loaner for a couple of weeks while the S waited for a back ordered strut and it was a blast to drive. I ordered a build back in January and last I heard it had been released to the carrier so I should have it shortly.

2016 C300 AMG SPORT PALADIUM SILVER, Crystal grey leather, black open pore wood trim, every option except roller shades.

It's just nice to drive something small and light. I made sure to add AirMatic though. Two of three kids are out of the house. Time for something fun.

This time its going to be new, not someones hand-me-down. Thats a great feeling.

But I don't like the new design. Its hot, but not classy. All three models look so like one another it cheapens the effect of having an S-class.

Yeah, you definitely fall for the car from the inside out. Great interior, loads of tech, great handling. I had to be careful with the exterior color and wheel package. In some colors it's rental car material.

Nice! No pushstart?

I like the wood grain. But it seems a little CLA-esque inside.

So this just happened... Backing out of a space and the right bottom corner caught the edge of a curb stop. Awesome! Supposed to trade it in this week. Benz55, I'm gonna need to borrow the mallet.
