I was taking a drive this morning, and what did I see but----

Good evening, Today, after a long wait, I met this car carrier taking my car to my dealer in Salisbury MD. It arrived in Baltimore on the FIDELIO on March 15th, and stayed there until a module that was needed from Germany arrived for this, and 129 other "S" classes. It was "released" Friday night, arriving this morning. As if by magic, I was in the right place at the right time. I snapped these pictures on the way as the truck crossed from Delaware into Maryland, to the dealer 3 miles away. The truck had to stop at the DOT scales to be weighed in. I got to the dealer first, and then somehow, I missed the truck as they came into the dealership from the back. After waiting outside for 20 minutes, my salesman told me the car had been unloaded, and here it is. Not washed, not prepped, but right off the truck. The car is Lunar Blue with the Silk beige Blue Designo interior, with the 20" 53R non sport, 5 spoke Goodyear tires. I ordered all the buttons expect the refrigerator. Has the MBC, and the Burmester 3D, as well as the back seat with the tables, and the heated and cooler cup holders-how cool that is. The dealer did the Pre Delivery Inspection today, tomorrow it gets cleaned and detailed, and Wednesday, I pick it up. I spent sometime with it today, but have not driven it yet. truly a MAGIC MOMMENT today. Will post more real soon.

SGreece, first of all congratulations on your new S550. From your description, your car sounds awesome. I will probably have the same trouble you are having when I post photos of mine, but your photos are not showing up for some reason.

Btw, welcome to this forum. I think you will enjoy exchanging comments with the folks here.
