Would she let you park the S-class out back if you allowed someone to simultaneously park thier midsize in the garage?

But really, do you guys have enough room in your garage to open the car enough to crawl out? Provided your two car garage is tidy.

It is a pretty big car, depends on the size of your garage and how big the stalls are. I had a 2013 Tundra before my S550 and it is definitely smaller than that but not by a lot.

I'm so excited to finally get that 'Cedes! Rockying it with the comrades will be half the fun! I might even park myself in its garage.
superpop- I have one of those standard two in one garages.

Sometimes a garage is just a garage.

I still think you should update the rear lights to L.E.D.

I showed my wife the Youtube video of the facelift that showed the two types of tail light side by side. She loved the idea of the black stripes, then when she saw the LED and she liked those better.

So now im going to have to get LED when the project is complete, lol.





Taillights

Don't let your wife see that cash. She'll insist you move out of that apartment and buy a new couch Haven't seen that much wrapped cash since Breaking Bad went off the air.

Lol, I was smoking blunts and rolling around in my friends MB ML350 Bluetec 2014 when she flew to hawaii. Came over to my buddies apartment to "chill" and show him my bankbag of cash. Felt like santa claus hauling it around. When I got back to the car, Id spread the bricks around the car and drive around. Was a good time, but when I got bored and went to the bank to return it. They had to count each note..

In paris I spend three days(four nights) at the apartment we rented, watching Breaking bad on an Iphone.

That's a cool picture of the pyramids. We should start calling you Fifty-Five Cent, flaunting all those stacks of Benjamins.

Surprise, surprise! Car was picked up this morning. The auction couldn't find the key. So it had to be forklifted onto the truck. Now I need to go to the stealership in order to start it. This means I have to get it forklifted off the truck and towed home after delivery.

Getting a new key will put a dent in your original $1000 budget.

Then the auction OWES you a key, for free. Express shipped or they need to give their cc info to your local dealer.

Nah, They said you can take it or get your money back. "There are no guarantees." The Russian truck driver said they couldn't find the key after looking around.

I called MB of Portland and they said $350 and 3 days shipping from Texas for a new key. Bring ID and proof of ownership(originals only). This means I cant get a key and drive it off the truck when it arrives.

So they offered you your money back and you said no?!? I have a feeling that this is going to be a lesson in futility.

The estimated retail value is amusing. That might be true if it was a non-branded car in good condition with a lot less miles.

If you had your car professionally repaired by a good body shop, it still wouldn't be more than a mid teens car with the branded title.

I have a feeling you're going to have a difficult time getting insurance on that car unless the repairs are done professionally and it goes through a full inspection that the DMV signs off on.
