w203 hibernates
Don't think I've posted any pics of my car on this forum. So here it is. Car just came back from paint, the front end was repainted due to rock chips. Car is in the garage not to be awaken until the upcoming spring.
Sorry but no front shots, I would have been run over by the traffic
. By the time I parked in the garage I forgot to take more pics.
I know the pictures are crappy, LG can't make a good camera.

The roof spoiler was from ebay, the seller was x3. I got it as a gift from my uncle for helping him. Didn't want to ask for anything above 100 dollars so I ended up with that.
Tinting is actually next on my mod list. I want to wait until the cold weather passes. Was thinking about Tint King, any recommendations?

If it doesn't get sold before it snows I think I'm gonna have to garage it as well
. I was hoping I could also park the DD in the garage.

So it's just going to sit and collect dust all winter? I've always understood that you should at least take it out for a few miles every couple weeks just to keep the fluid moving, not let the tires develop flat spots, etc. Out of curiosity, where do you live that the harsh weather starts so early in Fall where you can't even drive your car?

Its a New England thing, you Californians wouldn't understand
All the fluids (tranny/oil basically) were recently change (less then 50 miles ago). I was thinking about putting the car up on jacks or starting the car and move it a few inches every few weeks. The car hibernated last year also so its nothing major. The fluid capacity is larger in this car than say an RX-7. So if I am able to store the RX-7 for a much longer time I think the Mercedes will survive.
I admit, its too early to hibernate it but I recently got a new DD (the white car from the pics, hard to see but its an IS250 AWD) and trying to get some mileage out of it. My dad left me one of his car (the white GS400) to sell so I also have that car to drive as well.
