Picked up my car last night, got to drive it home and park it in the garage for now. Lots of snow here, and more to come. Will post picks as soon as I can. Small problem with taking off all the airbag stickers, they did not come off totally and residue and parts of stickers are left on the alcantra and plastic mirror. What do I do to remove it?

The detail shop at the dealership should be more than happy to remove the residue.

Congratulations Mookie, can't wait to see the pictures. On your first drive through the city, toot your horn, turn off the ESP and lay some rubber on CPW-- If I see a guy in Star Wars garb driving an SL55 I'll will know who it is. Enjoy.

I'm sorry Canuck, I thought it was obvious that Mookie is a Jedi Knight. Wasn't it Mookie who said "Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try."

Congratulations Mookie. I'd like to see your car sometime, I live in Morristown, so I'm right down rt24 from where you are (if i remember correctly, you said you're near the mall at short hills). Too bad we got hit with all this snow

What snow?
Usually this time of year we have a foot or more of it ourselves to contend with up here in the northland. Oh well, we will probably get our turn as it's not unusual to have a white Easter hereabouts. As of now though we are enoying dry streets and being able to see our lawns again.
