Congratulations! I hope you are blessed with many many miles of trouble
free driving. That should help balance out the luck some of the rest of us
have had with MB's. Please let us know how the build quality is compared
to previous models.

Congrats! I checked out an SLK350 at the LoveMercedes event a few months ago -- it's an awesome car!

I gotta get used to the front end! A very nice choice, nonetheless!

I was just waiting for someone to make that comment

By the way, the track is by Sigur Ros - an excellent group!

Icelandic.
Actually Hopelandish - a mixture of icelandic and some really strange stuff. Sounds great for cruising and testing audio response all over the audio range.

That is one of the few new MB's that I absolutely love. Very nice.

Damn, what happened to your master plan of getting the slushbox, then trading it in on the AMG version later?

First mod should be euro strips; those orange sidemarkers are VERY noticeable. You can wait til after my test drive to install them, though.

Plans changed - I might as well enjoy the 6sp before being forced to go Auto by AMG in 2 years.

OK, dumb question: what does "upgrading" to the AMG give you over a manny 350? I'm just wondering if the add'l ponies are worth an overall less fun car to drive.

I really haven't driven a 55 and It might be that the extra ponies may not offer enough over the fun of the 6sp to justify an upgrade. We'll see.
For now, I just want to enjoy the car.

FU!
By the way, when are we tommy included) going to hang out next?

How about next Saturday, 9ish?

Any weekend in Jan or Feb's fine with me; looking forward to seeing it. Both little Ricky and I were very impressed with the 350 that we drove at Great Adventure, even in girly slushbox trim.
