Mercedes recently revamped the high mileage awards and no longer offers lapel pins to original owners. So apparently they don't care enough about their customers to give them a 25 cent piece of metal? How bogus. The high mileage awards used to be much more thorough for original owners and I'm pissed as hell that 13,000 miles before my car can get an award they start skimping. This is enough that I'll never buy a Benz, my dad will never buy another benz (he bought 5 in a row, with the last one being a W126 in 1985 since all the newer models since have been much worse), and we might not even get a 300C SRT-8 like we had planned since it's the same parent company. I know other companies don't even have an award system, but to have one and then start skimping is so cheap. It's a lot like what I expect from Mercedes nowadays.Those cheap bastards. Richard
