SEC grille badges - high mileage & Mercedesshop?

Simply - take your car out early in the morning for a ride if you'd like to test it. It takes awhile to get hot outside in the morning.


Consider watching here - for a grille badge to keep the free high mileage from Mercedes Benz that you are elibible to obtain company. It might be worth getting, to contemplate putting one on each side of the rear license plate, if it turned out difficult to mount them on the front.

For the sake of symettry and balance, it might look nice to mount one on each side. I had the high mileage badge on the Volvo, and since they are flat, with stcky on the back, I did not choose to mount it on the front grille, where it might normally go, but simply to one side of the license plate where it looked good.
I was able to obtain a pair of nice, metal license plates with the "Dominion Volvo, Houston" script on it for originality's sake . They were the original selling dealer; and I had to watch the Volvo mechanics like a hawk as they were inclined to throw them away each time I bought the car in, and put on a couple of their cheesy, cheap black PLASTIC frames with their name: EXCLUSIVELY Volvo- San Francisco, on it.

Please no more bird and Volvo badges tonight - you are tormenting me with images of some of my weaknesses - what did I do exactly to deserve this?
