Momma got a new car!

[Emilie@GZP]

Bought this Friday, and just had it delivered this afternoon :)

2004 ML500.

One owner, no rust, runs and drives AWESOME!! Just has a power steering leak Hans needs to address (which we knew about prior to purchasing it, Ray was awesome enough to go to take a look at it for us last week, as it was only a few minutes from his shop).

Found it on eBay, of all places. Made the guy an off-ebay offer (small dealer), and he took it :)

Hans took it for a rip around the block, and it GOES! Pretty quick, nice and smooth, and has a respectable towing capacity (~5,000lbs).

Nice! Maybe Hans will stop busting on German cars now :p

Hans needs to shave or he is going to scare the baby. LMAO

I've been trying to tell him that :lol: He said he trimmed it, I hadn't even noticed :laugh:

Gonna be selling the White Stealth?

Feeling tomorrow being the day?

Hans will scare the baby beard or no beard....

Bob. :)

I won't ever sell the white stealth, same goes for his satin black 3000gt and the yellow stealth (and the truck, but that's not by choice LOL). Everything else will eventually go up for sale.

Feeling great still, no signs of baby in the immediate future. As long as I have time to make it to the Notary to get the car registered and tagged, then he can show up tomorrow evening. LOL That will also give Hans enough time to get some more progress going in the bedroom, maybe get the closets in, paint done, and the flooring going. :) We'll see how it all goes though.... nothing like last-minute!

Just hope the weather isn't a factor in getting to the hospital.

Low pressure is good for birthing....

We've got AWD now, we're good :laugh:

I'm really hoping we don't get the snow they are saying... just like every other snow storm they said we were supposed to get all winter.

....?

Not touching anything on this, besides a tow hitch, floor mats, radio, etc... just the small basic things, other than maintenance. :)

Nice choice for a family vehicle.
You will appreciate all the space when you start dealing with a car seat and all the stuff that comes with a baby.

[Emilie@GZP]

Hans is putting it on the lift tomorrow to check things over and getting the car seat situated. I assume that will take him all day. LOL

But there is a TON of room in the back, and the second row of seats fold down flat with the trunk for supersized cargo. Loving this thing so far!

[green-lantern]

Very nice, my friend had one. He loved it.

[Hans@GZP]

I dunno. It's no 92 GTI :p

[a2j]

Very nice. We love our GL. And ML is just a smaller brother (or sister).

[Uniuno]

When is it going on the dyno? lol

[Hans@GZP]

Never :p. I did put about 300 miles on it in the last 2 days. It's definitely a super nice truck to drive. I was getting 19 mpg on the highway, which they say is normal. So, all seems to be well with it :)

[OhioSpyderman]

When is Mom and Otto coming home from the hospital?

Bob. :)

[Hans@GZP]

They are scheduled to be released on Friday.
