car rack receptacles. pop open the cover(s) and you'll see a female receiver for the racks to be secured.

Ah… thank you. That’s probably my limit on dumb questions for today.

… maybe. 🤔

I am showing this to my wife for the laughter. Oh and she will laugh a lot at that. You don’t have to go with me to all these doctor visits. 😂

Again, thanks guys. I know I sometimes have some chemo-brain (good excuse) but this has been a terrific distraction for me lately.

Thank you. So far so good really. Zero immune system of course but other than the 55 hour non-stop hiccups from some premed they gave me… we feel very blessed. There are so many people that have it so much worse than what I’m dealing with so far. 😊

Plus… I have this new E450 I am enjoying WAY more than I ever expected. 👍

Obviously an S-Class is an S-Class which is a different league in refinement to an E 450, that said, what do you like and do not like more of the E 450 compared to the W222, what about vice versa?

Thank you! Sorry I keep typing E450. It’s an S450 … W222. Not sure why I do that.

Yeah sorry I don’t know why I sometimes do that. I’m blaming everything on chemo-brain and being sick for three weeks now due to no immune system. It’s an S-Class S450.

Had to make sure I typed that correctly just now. Chemo “brain” is… kinda wild. Probably be a fun time to read House of Leaves. 🤪

Ah all good : ) S-Class is better anyways, although I thought you had both the E and S but honestly you only need an S : )
