Euro delivery would be pretty fun though, BMW Welt is a cool experience, more theme park like than the MB facilities.
I use about a dozen presets - most frequent (not in order) are First Wave, 80s, 90s, Lithium, Electric Area, Chill, sometimes I also tune to 40s, 50s, 60s, and a few others. The only news I tune to is BBC.
Wife and daughter listen to Pulse (pop hits), sometimes Blend. Wife and I occasionally listen to Coffee House on road trips.

considering how bad over the air radio is, especially when travelling through boonie areas, almost a must have. I suppose can switch to pandora for music, but they don't have some of the extra stations. So I pay the $15/month or whatever it is.

Oh yeah, for presets I also have the NHL station, a couple of old school rap stations, and maybe an old dance/disco station, for the laughs.
So you're saying GG should have hit on the Cadillac customer service woman.

For the record I listen to 50s, 60, 70, and Love 17....I'm a lover not a fighter!
Will probably cancel after 3 free months.....I might only be here for 7 months and Florida for 5, and I have my UBS Stick from Staples.....the $10 one....not the $65 one!

Nobody drinks or eats in any car I've ever owned, once my Son's got past the bottle and the Cheerios stage, and even then I didn't have to clean up very much. Had some pretty good discussions with Mrs. j about that many years ago. My philosophy is simple, there is no table in my car so nobody does any table things in my car.
My cup holders are dust collectors for the most part. I use the two in the console for the key fob and phone if I can remember to bring it along.
Hard to believe there is a society that takes driving seriously and that cup holders aren't used. That would be damn hard to explain to people in this country. It is pretty novel, though.

The cupholder thing is funny. I had a 1989 S-Class - no cupholders. People thought that was amusing. The C43 and E55 had cupholders, but weird fragile looking things that came out of the console, and kind of discouraged use - no doubt this was the intent. Only the more modern generations of MB have cupholders as one might be familiar with. In Germany, driving is serious business. I look forward to driving there again.
The wife's car is another story.

I do have a rule that I don't lend 3 things, I don't lend my toothbrush, my underwear or my car. A friend pointed out that not lending your car, even to family members, is a good idea. Even though they are probably covered by your insurance policy, if they are in an accident, guess who's rates will go up? Not worth it.

I went into systems and found the spot where you check audible lock OFF.
I also set the lumbar and back supports---------that feels really good on the old back now!
I feel so empowered now....I actually fixed these myself. As I learn more I like and enjoy the E400 even more.

You should have seen some of the trade ins we used to get. Honestly, a family of rats could have lived two years in some of them! Minivans were the worst! The detailers would have to pull out all of the seats and carpets and steam clean everything! Still, the cars would often stink inside afterwards. These cars were rolling cafeterias!
I once had to go park a trade had taken in from a VERY fussy customer who spent nearly an hour trying to find the slightest flaw on his new Civic I had delivered. I had a rag and a can of polish in my hand as he pointed out every pinpoint of dirt or whatever he would find.
His trade was disgusting and I almost got ill after parking it. The ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts and ashes which were all over the carpet. Mc Donalds wrappers and junk were a foot deep on the floor and the dust was overwhelming. The car was such a roach that we had to end up taking to the auction because we couldn't get the stench out of it. Now, when our son was small we would allow some snacks and drinks but there was never a mess.
Dog odor is by far the worst thing. Much worse than tobacco. A smelly dog smell never go's away and after shampooing everything it usually gets even worse. Cigarette odor is bad too and this will quickly kill the sale of otherwise nice used cars.
Sounds like you dealt with my brother. I don't know how people can do that. I even get disgusted at my wife's vehicles. I never leave any garbage on the floor. Even after I tote the kids, I make them take everything with them when they get out. I try to not let them eat in there, but sometimes it is unavoidable due to scheduling problems.

Talking about smoking in cars, I remember my aunt and uncle (both passed) were heavy smokers. In the summer time, they'd smoke in their car, with the windows up and A/C blasting. Didn't think much of it at the time. But, whenever I was with them (they were childless, so they doted on my sisters and me), and came home to my parents, my Mother would make me change clothes because she said I smelled like an ashtray, which I probably did.
I do remember them in later years, each had a early-mid '80s Riviera. I thought they were pretty cool cars, with the big grill and 1/2 landau padded roof. But, they had their ashtrays full to the brim, with ashes overflowing to the floor.
Doesn't seem like all that long ago.......
So yes, drinks are allowed in the Audi, usually water, however, there is some spilled soda/coffee stains that need to be addressed on the red leather (side of passenger seat facing center console), and on the plastic trim around the center console cup holder, so I understand those that that make stricter rules.
