HoHoHo: All I want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas is some coool Canadian air and continued pleasure in driving my 2002 CLK 55 AMG.

I found the car I always wanted! Can't handle any more...for now.

What's on your list?

Smile Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa delivered my Chrismas wish....

Yesterday evening I drove home my SLK32 in Brilliant Silver with 2-tone Charcoal/Alpaca interior, xenons and CD changer.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

It's kind of funny how these 3 posts related to eachother. Karl wants to go to Canada, Mountain Dean wants to go where Karl is, and Benggolf is in Canada. Me... well, I'm just here.

Happy Holidays!

Love that MB Starwarmer from pokerFace, Toronto. Thanks for all of your comments. And as Mach430 is practicing:

Happiness is to want what you have!

I would like to just take a moment to thank all the members, friends, moderators, administrators and supporting vendors and wish all a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!

I especially want to thank the forum management for creating a new forum format and for giving us the opportunity to be a part of it.

Merry Christmas to ALL; best wishes for a Great New Year - 2002!

Karl K

Thanks Karl. On behalf of the Moderators, let me thank you for those kind words, and your frequent and enlightening posts.

Hope to get a chance to meet you in person when we finally get the South and/or Central Florida Meet put together.

Till then, regards,

As Karl K pointed out about finding the car he always wanted, I too have found the car that I have lusted for all the years past.

Although new to this forum, I am glad to have found it. In the short time that I have been here, I have learned alot about the vehicles that we drive and am thankful to those that make the forum possible and to those that contribute here.

Best Wishes for a Happy, Peaceful. Safe and Warm Holiday Season to all.

Lots of Snowbirds with Ontario and Quebec license plates must have come down via this jetstream phenomenom and are basking in the S. Florida sunshine.

Some of those Snowbirds drive with their convertibles with tops down in 50F temps.

My first long drive to the Corkscrew Swamp - 300 miles roundtrip high speed driving - yielded 22 mpg @ avg. 65 mph speed. Best mpg yet!
