A little early for winter... my new ride! (Part 5)

[rage2]

if I had to guess, 20? They're averaging 1 or so a month per dealer on allocations, so they're still kinda rare.

Meaty tires!

glad to see you made the sensible decision on the rack.

Hitch isn't available for the GLA45, otherwise there'd be a bike rack back there in addition to the roof rack for storage.

love these things!

[rob the knob]

i wish.

i will play one more 649 this week

[CLiVE]

Very cool. Was looking at the same vehicle, and was tempted to order one up. Great all-season family / fun / commuter I figured.

Pics of the cars together. GLA getting tint and 3M this week. Kinda hilarious how small the wheels on the BS looks sitting beside each other.

Kind of off topic but why do some cars have their brakes in front and others behind the hub? I guess it's not even brand specific because the BS has it behind while the GLA has it in front.

Nice car

Suspension design/clearance, brake cooling ducting, lots of different reasons. There's no single reason for it. The only place you wont see a caliper is on the bottom, as that would collect a lot of debris.

And thanks!

Yes, and it's fucking annoying. I have to remember what car I'm driving (or look at the stupid light) whenever I get gas. The B is opposite too (as is the same platform CLA), totally look like a noob when I forget to check. All my cars had the fuel door on the passenger side so I haven't had to check in what feels like a decade. First world problems.

No arrow on the fuel gauge?

I see a TINY tab beside the fuel gauge icon. Arrow on the left.

Just noticed this... for someone that likes their car black on black, the front tint is surprisingly light. I am guessing you usually get 20 rear and 50 on front?

Putting it in the basement? Devise a hanger in the ceiling of your garage! That's what I did with mine.

Mine is 15 cubic ft., which is slightly over 400L so that's a small one for an SUV.

Depending on how high your garage is another open is to put a bar on your wall and then clamp your cargo box down to that so it's sideways.

Congratulations, the car looks sweet!

Saw a white one in Kensigton tonight, I didn't realize how small they are! Definitely a unique car.

[rage2]

Total d-bag haha.
