It's 70, sunny, and there's no rain in sight. Perfect excuse to detail the car!











Gotta love Phoenix in March.

Thanks! I was getting frustrated, because for 4 straight weekends it poured here, so I kept getting denied on washing the car. When I looked at the weather forecast, and saw I had at least a week and a half of clear skies, I had to jump at the chance to wash and wax the Benz.

I'm with Dr. Fox on this one....non-stop rain all day today in RI...at least a good few inches, with no end in sight. Maybe sometime in April, we'll get some nice weather up here

Funny, I did the same thing this afternoon. Enjoy the weather before the dreaded 110 degree heat comes.

You've got to love the south (kinda). Although, here we get all the rain - which New York has borrowed for a bit.

Actually they are E320 rims. I just got them on last week. I love them. Thanks for the compliment. I had a slight fitment issue in the front, but my dealer sent me down to their custom wheels shop and all is well after a set of spacers and new bolts were installed.

It's going to be getting into the 80's here soon. No matter what, I soak up the weather while I can before baking for three months.

Thanks for the compliment. It was a bit of a chore, but I saved a ton of money, and I'm still "factory" in a sense.

Unfortunately it rained today...oh well, at least the Benz was perfect for a couple of weeks.
