It's actually right off of Exit 6 which is past UBS if you are going South on 95 & before it if you are going North. It's the same exit as the big, drive through Starbucks.
 
Oh, I was off by a couple of exits.

I thought of that last week when a real estate company asked me to do a radio commercial for them. I was flattered. I'm scheduled to do it this week.
 
Make sure they post it online.

ABC, first congrats on the Benz, I wondered if you would return to Mercedes at some point.
 
And I have to tease just a bit - hey I am a local here!
 
It is "Snoqualmie" Falls - and indeed they are beautiful

"Snoqualmie"
 
I knew my spelling was wrong, but I was phonetically correct!
 
Yes, nice place to stand and watch that clean glacial water spill down into the shallows.
 
Mt. Renier is a beautiful sight as well. It's another one of those dormant volcanoes, like Mt. St. Helen's "WAS"! I remember flying my Beechcraft King Air 350 from Portland to Seattle and flying over Mt. Hood and Mt. Renier.
Magnificent topography over the Olympic Mts. And Cascades.
 
Yes, will be much happier with the Benz again! Thanks!

Inquiring minds want know, does the new Merc have any dipsticks?
 
That's an interesting question. I am going to bet 25 cents that they don't, and I don't ever bet.
 
Come on Mike, get that car home and check it out for us.

Couldn't resist getting back into a Mercedes. Lexus just didn't measure up in my opinion.
 
She loves me, she loves me not. Too bad Lexus did not measure up to your expectations. You are a man who knows what he wants and once you go MB its hard to another make. Sort of like the old saying once you black you never go back.
 
Nonetheless, congrats on yet another purchase and I wish you nothing but miles of bliss and undiluted driving pleasure.
 
Meanwhile, how does one get this USAA discount? Is it available on automobiles only or can it be applied to other products and services?

mercedesbenzofdelray.com. Just select E350
 
I checked it out!
 
The E350 looks absolutely gorgeous. That Diamond White is a great color and it has a really nice interior. That's like the ultimate car.....I got a feeling you are going to love it.
 
btw...I don't see a dipstick in there.

I don't see an engine in there. just a bunch of plastic.
 
a big reason I hardly do any DIY on my cars now.

The Lexus has way too much technology for me and the build quality of the Mercedes is far superior to the Lexus.
 
There is something intangible about European engineering. The Asians can try to copy, but the experience and passion that makes a European car a European car isn't there.
 
It's like a Seiko watch...it is dependable, has good value, looks great. But, there is still the feeling of old world craftsmanship in an Omega or a Rolex.
 
I was wondering if you would miss your Mercedes. I hope the deal works out, it seems you won't be out much because you are getting a car with a lot of big upgrades.
 
That dealer has a huge inventory.

They have made engines look really nice these days. No air filters sticking up out of nowhere. Most of that plastic doesn't get covered in black oil. Sure looks different than those old Blue Flames.
