My car is VERY dirty right now...and yesterday my trunk lip spoiler got ripped out when some kindhearted men help me push my car out of some ice hole...

I stick it back on with some new tapes, but there's a small paint crack near the middle.

I have not driven out to Stanly park lately and I don’t know if they have plowed through it yet or not, but if they maintain it then we can meet there we can take a lot of good picture of car there and there is tons of room to park all the car together. If there is snow that day and you still want to come then just make sure you just keep some supplies in your car. Like a small shovel some really good winter gloves and runners or good shoes … (not dress shoes, they wont help when pushing your car) and empty coke bottle and where ever else you think you’ll need to get you out of the slippery situation. I have also know of people top keep some salt in there trunk that they can spread under there car on an ice road.
Come on people we all drive Benz’s and a little snow should not keep a Benz off the streets, think of the people in Toronto, Edmonton. There are ways you can drive your car in the winter, you need to know how to drive your car. But then again if you choose not to drive your car in this weather because you have a back up car for the winter then that’s ok, but for me this is the car I have and it’s going to get me around town no matter what the weather conditions.

I have been driving my car fine in the winter, there is no problem with it getting around town, ya some of those hills can be tricky but its do able and I don’t have winter tires on my car they are just Z rated all season tires, all I do is set the car into winter setting with that W/S button by the gear shifter and the car starts off in second gear and it helps get up those tricky slippery spots and I don’t spin out the tires just very, very little gas at a time especially off the line.

@harry, richard - are you guys confirming? :P
stanely park could be a good place to meet. as long as we dont get kicked out any place is good really. the snow will be long gone by then. heck, it should be melted away by this weekend (fingers crossed).

@richard, BBY Mnt. isn't a bad idea. im not sure how to get there! thats why i need a command. lol.
@buzz888, of course you can come. the reason why it's posted on W203 forum is cuz well, most of us drive the C but we have an SLK, and a couple of CLS coming! the more the better
ok, guys, where do you want to meet up? so far we have Stanley Park, Oakridge, richmond somewhere and BBY Mnt. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

custom interior? that sounds fancy! what did you have in mind?
the 55 is good. the snow sucks! the exhaust sounds good when you are driving it but no so much when you are in N or D and reving it.

i highly doubt there will be any snow on the ground when next week rolls around. the rain should clear it all up. salt will not be a problem. if it rains i will still attend, will you?
again, it we do not have a place to meet yet.

why not have the meet at lansdowne again? no one seems to care there. there got lots of room for pics since no one parks at the far side of the parking lot.
