I thought of that after I sent the post - the fact that he was probably using it for work. I have a lot less qualms with folks driving trucks if they actually need them most of the time. So my gripe may be applied to the other millions of Americans who derive their toughness from their pickup. My favorite was the ad campaign that actually came right out and told us that if we drive their super duper big truck, we're tough. Red Wing shoe's ad that states: As tough as the guys that wear them is more tolerable. But the driving of a large vehicle requiring toughness? Heck, I think driving a small vehicle takes toughness.

Thats only ~310,000 miles, my 190D should hit that within the next year or so. I think its 287k right now. Lessee, 55 miles a day, 550 a week is about 26400 a year just to commute to work... Anybody says the 190Ds can't do high mileage hasn't driven one. Of course its back in the shop next week, the rear end is still not quite right. Indy says he thinks he knows what it needs...

So, do you have to prove with records of some sort or do they take your word for it? I guess I have to start at the beginning as my 76 only had 990 miles on the odometer when I got it in 1995.

Re: [MBZ] High mileage badges [was Re: It's a plot]
Hi all, For Hi Mileage Badges from MBUSA, there is no verification needed. One need only call Montvale (1-800-FOR-MERCEDES (1-800-367-6372)) and ask about the program. You will be mailed the application, complete it and return it. Not sure about MB Canada. Chuck w/a 250,000 km badge on my 500E.

Re: [MBZ] High mileage badges [was Re: It's a plot]
I'm pretty sure MBOZ has stopped handing out badges but I can't be bothered displaying that I drive an old car with lots of miles under the wheels and the odo in my 123 has stopped working but I guess it is closing in on 250K. Looking at buying a 300TE with 350K on the clock but I rather have one with 150K. Hendrik Chuck Landenberger wrote: Hi all, For Hi Mileage Badges from MBUSA, there is no verification needed.
