I hope to order the WeatherTechs this week. I also need to order some Zaino... That digital Compass that Rick put me onto from Sharper Image looks real nice... too. And I've been waiting for someone to repost a pix of that cassette size MP3 player, also. Thanks to o2bsurreal's post today, I have that to think about... and all of you have given me great advice on digital cameras...

I swore I wasn't going to go hog-wild over this Mercedes, but it looks like I'm gonna have to buy the wife a VERY NICE Christmas present or two to compensate for all these car wishes.

Let's see, I could buy the compass for her... no, wait, that won't work, would it Lynn?

Maybe you should just get her a bowling ball that says "Homer"

I have never been married, but I my limited understanding of such things would lead me to believe that sho would not appreciate the gift of a compass for your car. She might like a nice digital camera, and even let you borrow it. Buying her floor mats and Zaino are definitely out of the question.

What does Mrs. MB-BOB drive? Maybe she would like a new ML 320 or C320 Sport Wagon for Christmas. And who wouldn't love to find a silver CL55 with a bright red ribbon in the driveway Christmas morning?

Has anyone tried CatchAll mats? They look like they'd hold even more slush than then weatertechs. I have no idea where to get them or the price.

i just ordered them - just the fronts in black. i have a black interior but my regular mats were silver/gray which looked odd to me. if you buy more than one set, the shipping is free for the additional sets so i ordered fronts for my bmw too.

i've never heard of Catchall mats and if you tell me they are much better at half the price, i'm going to cry...

Nifty Products.com has the Catch-All floor mats (actually looks like molded carpeting) but they appear to cater only to truck/SUV/Van market (didn't have time to peruse complete site).Nifty Products

It does appear that the catcall mats are for trucks/suvs only. Several people have reccomended them for my ML320 but I had not checked into them yet, so I didn't realize they didn't do cars. They don't list priced on their web site, so I still don't know how much they cost.

I did find that Walmart has relatively good replicas of the black weather tech rubber mats, though they are certainly not custom sized to any vehicle. They are only $28/pair vs ~$54 for weathertech.

target had CarAndDriver mats that looked pretty good - only $9.95 each. had little cutoffs to custom fit your car. problem is, even w/ the cutouts, it wouldn't fit my bmw (really narrow at top). would've like to have kept them as they looked fine.

figured, i might as well spend $25 more for custom fit mats (and w/ their free shipping for additional mats, i bought them for my mb too.) that's it though! no more purchases!
