A 536 page Mercedes owners manual
 

My new 2013 S-550 was delivered today. The manual for this thing looks like an encyclopedia. I downloaded the pdf and it is 26.5m. I thought my last amg mercedes had the gizmos.

congrats... nice ride... fast too I suppose

Nice car :)
They should put the manual on an iPad or something.

If it's new, why is the plate with APRIL tags? and wouldn't you have paper plates?

I finally traded off the E55 AMG and I am surprised at how fast the S-class is. It's got 429hp compared to the E's 470hp. BUt the 7sp trans in the S works good in sport mode. The E55 is faster, but not by a lot. The S has 70 miles on it and it's raining so I didn't really give it the beans yet. Probably tomorrow :)

I transferred the plates off my E55.

nice car man. good to see you're still finding time to enjoy some of the finer things ;)

aren't stickers supposed to mark bday's anyway?

:winkwink:

Every state has different plate laws. I have lived in four different states and they all had different laws.

No license no plates. ^

In the short drive I took in it so far, it's definitely a great piece of engineering. I think it's going to make a good DD.

In Wi. they issue the plate and and a sticker of the month the car is registered. Then every year we purchase a new sticker with the new year and attach it to the plate. I have had this plate for years and there is a stack of year stickers on it.

Nice observation, but not only is Minte legit, as he mentioned, you can transfer tags.

Actually he doesn't even need plates ... this is the vehicle he uses to get around inside his gargantuan factory/warehouse. :1orglaugh

this is my next car

Minte, how is the factory coming along? Any new pics of that place?

We have some of the metals up and running now. The first plastics machine is going to be moved next week. Over 70 truck loads so far from the metals shop. It's a big project. The plan is to be completely in by early Dec.

Nice ride Minte!

Looks like a sweet looking ride

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I was a mb service advisor and there were customers who would study the manual like it was the bible.

nice ride as usual
money money

Nice car Minte, hope you enjoy it!

Are you saying that everyone doesn't take their new car manual up to a good reading space and read the entire thing several times? I finished page 203 before I retired for the evening. :)

Those pics from my phone look that way... Not sure why it does such a poor job. It's a fairly current samsung galaxy phone.

Mint yourself a new Deutsch text book.

mugga on the beat

Minte, you realize they are releasing a new version in a couple of months right? All new tech, styling and so on...

Did you rub one out after ?

I figured out what was wrong. Same car same camera phone..different day.

Gorgeous! Enjoy it!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Time well wasted :thumbsup

did you go into the camera menu and adjust the resolution ?? :winkwink:

uh huh....:thumbsup

Did you replace an E-Class /CLS with it? How does it compare?

I traded in a E55 AMG. The S-class only has 250 miles so I haven't opened it up,yet.
But it's almost as fast as the E55. But it doesn't have the explosive torque like the E55. The acceleration is very smooth. The S is a lot bigger car,and it feels bigger. It's the most solid car I have driven.

But in comfort and gadgets, the E55 is a distance second to the S. So far I am really liking the S-class.
