I take it that's someone famous? Actually looks like it could be either LA or Las Vegas, from the pictures and the home architecture.

Congrats on your purchase! You're going to get a lot of good help from Skylaw, Kawagirl, et. al. in the W221 forum. And since you've already got HID's, then you're already at the top of the heap. No need to change.

Well..... I finally found a car and basically bought it on site due to who was selling it. Engine and tranny seem mechanically sound and everything just about works. A few blemishes here and there and some scratches on the wheels, but all in all I'm satisfied. 114K on the ODM. It's a 2011 with Distronics plus that actually works! The only things that came back on the scan (That I did when I got home instead of right on site.) where radar sensors 4 and 5. Not sure what that means just yet, but will get to it in the next few days.

And no @cowboyt I will not be switching the lights and loosing HID and the functions that go along with it. LOL

Like I said earlier, you gotta buy the seller before you buy the car. Nice car and enjoy!

Yes sir. That is Carl Weathers. Most would remember him from Rocky playing Apollo Creed or the first Predator movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Carl Weathers - IMDb

Carl Weathers. Actor: Predator. Carl Weathers was born on January 14, 1948, in New Orleans, Louisiana. A famous and successful football star at San Diego State, he played with the Oakland Raiders and retired from the sport in 1974, in order to give full attention to his goal: to be a real actor...

Thanks.

This is true, but will still come back to visit from time to time.

Thanks.
In this case yes. Because the last 5 sellers were shady as hell, but the dealer level scanner does not lie. Nor does the RPM test. 😂

Oh, man...I remember him from TV shows in the 1970's, too! That man was seriously buff. Always wondered how he was doing, and from the looks of things, he's doing OK.

Please do drop in every now and then. You're always welcome 'round these here parts.

Same here.
He seems to be doing ok and very down to earth that's for sure.

Soooooo, I have to say the S550 is definitely better than my S430! Looks like I only need to add just my cameras and android auto/carplay. The sound system is WAY better than I had ever expected!

Thanks.

Yes the 10 inch android is a great upgrade for the s550

@Dave2302 Brother Dave! I need you assistance on a SLK 350. We cant read the car from the ODB port after an update. Do you think the gateway needs to be replaced?

Hmm...that might be best handled in a PM or (preferably) in the SLK forum, since that's a different chassis.

And I haven't seen Dave around for a while. I hope he's OK.

Yep, that's where I started at first, but no takers so far....

And I too hope he is doing well and not under the weather. I will try to pm him and see if he responds.

Thanks cowboyt.

In this trial, I did a hard stop at 40 MPH at a distance of 111 feet (circular sign) from a driveway (red arrow). The distance in the accident was longer, about 120 feet.

The stop was a non-issue
