Service done (three minor things to go, just not quite enough time on the first shop visit), 17" wheels and tires ordered (hopefully installed on Friday). I've been checking out the existing sound and navigation system: radio works fine, CD changer works fine, GPS works fine. It's surprisingly easy to hear music and audiobooks even with the top down, a testament to well-thought-out aerodynamics. Improved over the prior SLK series too. Exactly how to update the system to Bluetooth streaming remains a bit of a question; there are several possible options, haven't decided which is best yet. It works well enough while I figure out what I want to do.Well, if it were mine, I'd do the service, get the big wheels and new tires, leave the top down and not worry about the stereo system, since it's a bit hard to hear that on an open windy road. Like Highway 1 all the way to Santa Barbara.
BTW, I saw in one of your other posts that Keeble and Shuchat is closing. That's really sad. I've always stopped in when I have any free time in the west bay. What will happen to the collection of classic cameras that ran all the way around the top of the display cases?

Took my first joy ride around the peninsula the other night. A lovely machine to drive, in every way.
Yes, KSP is closing. :-(
The owners' classic camera collection could fill an entire museum; what's there is just a part of it. I said hello to Terry yesterday and thanked him for his years of service to the photographic community, then asked what would become of the collection. He just smiled and said he had plans.
It's very sad to see the only remaining decent brick&mortar*camera shop in the area closing down. A casualty of the modern era in business..
