yea, i never wash my car after a drive. i wash my car every sat or tuesday depending on how lazy i am. those are my days off so the car sits over night in my garage, then i just back out in to the shade and wash away.

Rubi all the way.

It's called a PRIVATE message for a reason. Ever heard of Attorney/Client privilege? Just because something is written down, does not make it public knowledge. Just ask Supreme Court nominee, John Roberts Jr.

Pure eViL

If you say his name, three times in a row he will appear.

Let's just refer to him as "he shall be nameless".

I agree with RICK, Jim has taken it too far and has become as childish as this 617 character.

Currently NO, but thats becuase I'm stuck in a C240 since Tuesday when my car went in for service A and a few quirks to be fixed. I really dont like the C240, its like a neuterd dog off the line, its just got no *****!!! I dont find it nearly as comfortable as my car and it doesnt handle as well... Oh yeah and I keep looking for the clutch and shaking the shifter!!!

But... Hopefully tomorrow I can say I am enthused about MB's again...

I love my car... But can really use Pulley/Chip and Headers!!! Wheres that dyno?! (Just kidding, take your time with that!)

-edit-
This isnt an attempt to start another war between these two cars...
