That really sucks. What's the verdict? Under warranty? How long are you down for?

Nice Pics. Looks like you guys had a great meet. The only negative is that there weren't enough CL's there to make it a real meet 
Very nice turn out Wish I would have been able to make it.
to Neorick for a successful meet.

I hope your service adviser is kind to you and like you said, turns the other way... Hope to see you and the rest of the gang at the next meet...

While it wouldn't be too difficult to meet your power requirements, I don't know if any of the cars would be as refined as your Mercedes.

car was towed into the dealer today and it seems like everything is covered under warranty. my service b was up also, so i guess they're doing everything this time.

yeah i dont remember the details but that thing is wikid, but he was talkin around 580/650 so stage 2 sound about right. oh what money can buy...

^it's a steal compared to the price of a SL/CL65 (MSRP $182,820) to get the same amount of power 600hp/700lb-ft and about 400lbs lighter.
