TheDogsCar Veteran Date registered: May 2006 Location: NYC Vehicle(s): '05 G55K Firemist Red - Stolen Posts: 110 | Re: The New Doghouse Thanks guys! The dog is an Alaskan Malamute and the color is original. It was the display car for the 2005 NY Auto Show and is fully loaded ... even has the Voice Command system with the V60 Motorola phone cradle (which I need to figure out if I should buy the MIK BOX, or a new phone, or the Bluetooth adaptor or just not use it?) Been a long time since I had a new car, so lots of manuals, switches and knobs my old car never had ... best way to learn all that crap is a road trip | ||

What's that thingamajig attached to the roof (as seen in the second pic)? I've never seen a G55 from up close ... you think you could road trip this way ... so I could have a better look? See you around then ... | ||

What about me sending you a copy of TomTom Navigator, that way you would at least be able to find your way around Europe | ||

They sell it for $325, but I hear some MB Dealers sell it for as low as $258 ... now I need to find one of those Dealers Part # B67875856 | ||

DesertStar Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: San Diego, CA USA Vehicle(s): 85-280GE/95-G320/08-G500 Posts: 2156 | RE: The New Doghouse Nice ride. It must be a great feeling to own a G from day one knowing that it will always get the best care,fluids, proper wiring of aftermarket items without having to guess what a previous owner's mechanic did etc etc. My last new car was a Dodge 2500 Cummins in 1995 anf it has received all the best as I described above which probably explains why it still looks like new and is still running strong at 280,000 miles and my conscious wont let me sell it due to its dependability and well kept history., although I am hankering for a W463 in the future of circa 1995.
