I got a call this morning that my Orion Blue 09 SLK had FINALLY arrived. I ordered it pretty much loaded. I had a friend drop me off at the dealer after work to pick it up and enjoy the weather. When I arrived, the car looked amazing. The new AMG package looks GREAT in Orion a the Premium Beige looks stunning. It was amazing.

Then I looked a little closer as my sales guy walked out to greet me. I could tell by the look on his face that it wasn't good. Well....apparently my order had been screwed up. They had originally placed an order for a fully loaded car (they even gave me a print out from the computer) and somehow during a delay in late march or early april it "lost" it's Premium Package. So the car showed up with Heating, AMG, Navi, Lighting and no Premium. After admiring the car for a bit he game me a few options, none of which had me getting my car any time soon and I declined them all. I didn't even drive it for fear I might start thinking of taking it.

So. After getting the first 09 in town, I am now going to have to wait another 2 months while they get another one built correctly. Needless to say I am bummed and had to share. With me luck waiting ANOTHER 2 months.

Oh and one last thing. I was so grumpy about the whole mess I didn't even pull out my iPhone to shoot some pics.
