Where not to park.
Yesterday, I ran over to the local Walmart and though I had found a pretty good parking spot.
When I returned, I cranked up the C300 and I had the worst odor you could imagine. My first thought was "is this the smell some have posted about in MBWorld?" But it was much worst than that. Then I jumped out of the car and checked the bottom of my shoes.....bet that looked funny by anyone watching. Nothing on the shoes. Then I figured I must have run over someone's pet in the parking lot and while in the store, decomposition kicked in.
Well I back out the car from the parking space to find that I had parked over one of those rain drains in the parking lot. Ta Da....found the source of the smell.
