Boy was I surprised yesterday as the family was opening up gifts I got an unwrapped box that was addressed to me and had no idea what was inside. Low and behold when I opened it up was a very nice letter and radiator badge from M.B. thanking me as a valued customer and my 300,000 kilometer award. I felt like the kid in christmas story that just got his red ryder b.b. gun. I really thought they forgot about me as I applied well over a month ago. I have read on the forum to spray it with some type of sealant to preserve it from pitting it before mounting it. I have owned this car about 8 yrs. now and like H.D. has their model road king motorcycle I consider my 300 SD. the road king of cars also goes great in the snow also with all of its 4,800 lbs. My next goal is 400,000 miles hope I make it not sure what is gonna wear out 1st the car or I.
