I will be encouraged by your news.
A bit worried about Irma. She could come across Brunswick.
It is out of my hands.

Think Positive, by the time you are back in the USA, your vehicle will have been thru a car wash, and you will just about know when you will have it !

Safe Trip !

BAD NEWS -

Sure the SL - 450's have been released by DOT, but now there seems to be a problem with the cars, and they are waiting for a part from Germany to fix them.

Latest estimate by my dealer said- SOME TIME IN OCTOBER - I wonder if they will send along FREE WINTER TIRES too

am highly considering canceling my order !
