Special thanks to Beny for helping me track my car while it was on the train, such a great guy.

A few pics to share for now, will do some formal shots with my buddy when his wagon is back in town. Wagon owners in Vancouver give me a shout, I have seen only a few on the road, we could do a meet or something.

 

Went to sign the paper work the day when it arrived at the dealer, saw my car was parked in the corner on my way out. So excited and jumped out to take a few pics

 

Requested not to drill the bumper, SA put a little note in the front : )

 

Next day, car was ready and parked outside the showroom. Quickly sign the remaining paper and insurance, could not wait any more to drive my hot wagon. New car seat installed so my kid is happy as well

 

Snap a shot when SA drove it out, never get bored with white and black tone.

 

get home for the first time

 

AMG letters are in the grille

 

Some details

 

hot wagon or not? your call. Thanks guys

 

Beautiful! Do the door pins come stock or did you need to install them yourself/have the dealer install?

 

Congrats on the new ride! Finally! Looks nice in white.

 

Congrats. This car will amaze you in every way possible.

I love each entry ramp onto hwy! Took spin out to City Island yesterday (mistake) with the family. Getting home the entry ramp back onto the Hutch is from dead stop... sweetness in this car. Even my wife was amazed at how calm the car handled getting to 60mph with traffic.

Enjoy your wolf in sheep's clothing.

 

Congrats on finally getting the car!

 

Congrats! That's a wolf in WOLF's clothing... That's a mean wagon

 

Congrats! Good luck with the "break in"

You now have (by many estimates, including mine) the ultimate automobile.

It's an impression that lasts.

If I ordered a new one, it would probably also be in white. Its a beautiful color.

 

Congratulations, I am certain that you will love the hot/fast wagon.
Looks beautiful in white, but I am biased!

 

Alas, the wait is over!

 

Same question. Did you buy the door pins and valve caps separately or did they come from factory as an option?

 

Door Pins and Valve Caps are always (as of this writing) added on separately. Both are available as an OEM accessory through your parts counter.

 

I bought door pins from mbonlineparts.com, cheeaper than the dealer. Delaer installed them for me for free as it only took about 5 mins. No need to remove rear door panel as mentioned in some threads, straight plug out and snap the new one on for the rear part.
Valve caps brought from dealer on deliver date for only $18, better than the stock ones.
macarbon red engine star button and Edition 1 red wheel centre caps are on the way, dechrome to gloss black, black out badges and window tint are coming next
