Wish we could stream it live! Can't wait to hear the result.
Wife thinks it's gonna start but after hearing all you guys today, I am waffling. Ahhhh I might as well hold to it starting and hope for the best.

I think it will start. My E55 looks about the same. Since we don't drive it in the winter, it sits for extended periods of time and there is no room in the garage. Garage gets cars that are driven in the winter.
It's a car. Show won't hurt it.

Battery brand differences are mostly marketing unless it comes down to weight, and the lightweight ones are still mostly marketing as they aren't geared for the standard daily driving experience.
FWIW I just replaced both of my batteries after my car sat in the garage for a couple months, and had to look around for a replacement AUX battery, which is actually an ATV/Motorcycle battery, but the mercedes one is anAGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery, meaning it requires no fluids to charge.
Advance sells one that is the same size, is AGM, and costs about $99. It's an Extreme Magna Power battery, and the model in the bottom right of the box is EXT14. The only thing I had to do when installing it was bend the terminal wires a little so they'd fit.

I will be surprised if it starts, my 99 E 430 can only make 2 weeks parked with alarms.
OEM alarm
Viper alarm
LoJack alarm
Anything after 15 days in mild south Florida climate is a no go.

After a few billion gallon of water I was able to gain access to the start button
..........................
.........................
Hole E ****.....
STARTED Right UP......
idle high for a few second and then came down..
I listen for knocking nothing nada...
after fully warmed up I took to the station and add a full tank of gas 1/4 tank was what it had sitting.
anyone having a car sitting for a few week in a garage and not starting go get a new battery....
That car was like "Kady Gaga" and that egg but my egg was made of ice.
Emoving I will get an Optima when needed that is what I have in my Rx7. that park from NOV-April and alway start but I disconnect the battery...
I still cant believe it started....

O yea...Living in NYC my garage is for 1 and only 1 car
It is not a 200x300 unit like I see on TV...
O I built this buggy during the winter in my garage..come to NYC and do it in my garage....will you..
I love all my cars even my Mazda Protege 1.5 5 speed DD. All get treated like a Princess. When I clean one all are cleaned. My DD is what bring me to work so I can afford the rest.It is always clean since that is where my time is spent and she get 35 MPH...Going green with one and the other 2 are sucking the oil out...my e63 ave 24.3 from Florida to NY and the rx7 maybe 10-12 mpg.

I never really into a CLS but after seeing yours and how the rear seats are like sitting up front I am liking the CLS more and more... After the summer I might start looking for a CLS63 thanks to you...
But I also want a 911 turbo if I sell my Rx7 ...I want and I want...

Yep,,,,people love the rear seats when they see them and ride back there. Unfortunately it only holds 4 people but I never put 5 in my E55s any how.
